Copper Antique Kettle (2026) Original Oil Painting by Nimasha Perera

This kettle has lived. The dents in its belly, the darkened seams, the handle worn smooth by years of use, all of it tells a story that a new object never could. This painting is a tribute to things that carry time within them.

Painted in oils, the aged copper is rendered with close attention to how light moves across a battered surface, catching at the rim, pooling in the dents, losing itself in shadow. The cool grey background lets the warmth of the metal speak for itself.

For anyone who has ever felt a pull toward the old and well-loved, this work is for you.
