Original artwork description:

This still life, painted in watercolor, feels as though it is woven from light and silence. Every element — and even the space between them — is infused with the gentle radiance of early morning sunlight, as if the very first breath of day has been captured on paper.
At the center of the composition is a delicate branch of rowan berries, with clusters of soft red fruit and pale green leaves. It stands in a light-toned jug, its surface shimmering with subtle shades of beige and bluish-gray. The jug doesn’t just hold the branch — it seems to absorb and reflect the surrounding light, while the rowan itself reaches upward, as if drawn toward the sky.
To the right, a small ultramarine vase holds a handful of grapes. The berries are almost translucent, glowing softly as if each one contains a drop of sky. Their cool blue tones contrast gently with the warmth of the rowan, adding depth and a quiet balance — like nature’s own breath, both cool and warm at once.
In the foreground lie a few plums, resting on an almost invisible, sheer napkin. The fabric is so delicate it appears ready to vanish, leaving the fruit to float in the light. The plums are softly rounded, painted in muted purples with faint sunlit reflections on their skins — simple, yet full of quiet life.
There are no sharp lines or deep shadows in this watercolor — only air, light, and a sense of fragile harmony. This is more than just a still life. It is a symbol of purity, serenity, and the subtle beauty of the world in its gentlest, most luminous form.
