The painting gives the impression of an intimate, evening sketch filled with the atmosphere of a cozy, intelligent space. The artist focuses on the "after" moment — a cup of coffee, a glass of cognac, a cigar in an ashtray, and a cigar case.
What creates this mood and atmosphere:
• Color and light: warm amber, ocher, and brick tones in the foreground (cognac, table, cigar) create a sense of warmth and coziness, while the blue-purple and cool tones of the background create a contrast and a sense of distance, reminiscent of the coolness of the street after an evening rain. The scattered bright lights and their reflections create a bokeh effect, gently blurring the background and enhancing the intimacy of the foreground.
• Composition and focus: the objects are grouped compactly, forming a solid "front" area - the cup, glass, bottle and ashtray form a working diagonal/triangle that holds the eye. The background is shown conventionally to avoid distraction, but it adds depth and a touch of romantic melancholy.

Materials used:

Canvas, acrylic, texture paste, acrylic varnish
