Original artwork description:

In this intimate still life, the glass candle holder emerges as the focal point of expressiveness, arguably the only element in the composition that demands the viewer's immediate attention. While the surrounding darkness holds the scene in a state of quiet tranquility and thoughtfulness, the glass surface vibrates with energy, catching illuminating rays and creating a delicate, almost imperceptible halo.

The strongest element is undoubtedly this glass base. It acts as a prism for the scene's atmosphere—absorbing the surrounding colors, swirling them together, and refracting the light onto the table below. It is a captured avalanche of optical phenomena. In stark contrast, the candle itself stands its ground patiently. Rendered with a perfectly seamless gradient flow of colors, the wax embodies stillness against the chaotic texture of the glass.

The work represents a visual rivalry between two completely different planes with opposite characteristics—the energetic and the stoic—meeting in one meditative study.
