Pomegranates on an Oriental Rug (2025)Mixed-media painting
by Ariela Stem

A still life featuring ripe pomegranates arranged with a blue-green ceramic dish and an Oriental rug. This light, dynamic, and decorative small piece is painted in one breath, with quick and expressive brushstrokes. There is no tedious meticulousness of traditional realist still lifes here—only an impressionistic sensation of ripe pomegranates and the vivid Oriental patterns of the rug. The unconventional, dynamic composition adds even more expression to the work. This small, uplifting painting makes a wonderful accent for a kitchen or dining room in both modern and classic interiors.
