Brown Teapot (2026) Original Oil Painting by Nimasha Perera

A brown ceramic teapot, round and solid, set against a deep cobalt blue background. Simple in subject, striking in colour.

This painting is built around the tension between warm and cool, the rich chocolate and amber tones of the ceramic pushing against the vivid blue surrounding it, each colour made more intense by the presence of the other. The gloss of the ceramic catches the light in sharp highlights, the reflections moving across the surface in strokes of cream and gold.

Painted in oils, this is a work about the quiet pleasure of a well-chosen colour combination, and the unexpected beauty of an ordinary object given the right light and the right background.
