Original artwork description:

I created Urban Still Life as an attempt to merge two worlds — the vibrant, noisy city and the quiet objects that remain after human presence. I’ve always felt that streets, houses, signs, bottles left on tables — they’re not chaos, but a conversation the city carries on with us.

In this work, I deliberately blended architecture with everyday objects: bottles dissolve into the silhouettes of buildings, glasses become part of the city’s rhythm, and fragments of posters and lettering are the breathing of the streets. To me, the city is a living organism where every element — a roof or an empty glass — holds someone’s memory.

I used vivid, broken brushstrokes to convey the energy of an urban day and the slight sense of being intoxicated by life itself. It’s neither a holiday nor an ordinary day — it’s a moment where everything mixes: noise, color, memories, sound. Here, the still life isn’t placed on a table; it exists within the city’s very fabric.

I wanted the viewer to feel that nothing in the city is accidental. Everything has a story — even a forgotten bottle or a crooked window. This is my dialogue with the city, and I invite everyone who looks at this painting to join it.
