Original artwork description:

A vivid study of light, fire, and reflection — Pepper Still Life (2010) captures the atmosphere of a simple Eastern European kitchen scene: a bottle of pepper-infused vodka, a tin pot, and the quiet glow of garlic and peppers. It is less about food than about heat, resilience, and the poetry of light on metal and glass.

Created with encaustic on greyboard, the painting unites molten wax and sharp highlights to convey both warmth and austerity. The restrained palette and luminous reds evoke the essence of everyday ritual — ordinary objects elevated into something timeless and dignified.
