Varv4
Oil artwork “Saucer” presents a quiet still life centered around a delicate saucer decorated with floral patterns. On the surface of the saucer rest two small paper boats folded from dollar bills, creating an unusual combination of everyday objects. The composition blends the elegance of porcelain with the symbolic presence of money shaped into fragile forms.
The inspiration for this work comes from the contrast between value and simplicity. The dollar bills, transformed into paper boats, lose their usual function and become playful objects placed inside a decorative saucer. The floral ornament of the dish softens the composition, while the folded bills introduce a subtle reflection on material value, transformation, and imagination.
The artwork is created with oil on canvas, using soft tones and careful detail to capture the texture of porcelain, paper, and floral decoration. The light surface of the saucer contrasts with the green tones of the dollar bills and the wooden background. Through balance, texture, and symbolism, the scene highlights themes of saucer, paper boats, dollar bills, flowers, and still life composition.
