Pumpkin and Citrus (2026)Oil painting by REVAZ TCHEISHVILI

This oil-on-canvas painting, created entirely with a palette knife, presents a still life with an intense and intimate character. In the foreground, arranged on a white cloth shaped by decisive knife strokes, sit a pumpkin, a lemon, two oranges, and a red pomegranate. Each fruit is built through layered, textured applications of color that enhance its volume, surface, and natural chromatic variations.

Light coming from the left gently touches the objects, highlighting the textures created by the palette knife: the roughness of the pumpkin, the shine of the citrus fruits, and the soft roundness of the pomegranate. The dark, compact, detail‑free background creates a strong contrast that allows the fruits to stand out with striking visual presence, giving the composition an intimate, almost theatrical atmosphere.

The palette knife technique lends the work a vibrant physicality: every gesture remains visible, transforming the painted surface into a dialogue of light, matter, and color. The result is a balanced and evocative still life, capable of conveying quietness, solidity, and a sense of silent contemplation.
