Whiskey Reads (2025)Acrylic painting
by Mazi Katanov

£1,115.53

This contemporary still life explores the quiet ritual of reading and evening repose. Patterned books are stacked and scattered across a softly lit tabletop, accompanied by a cut-glass tumbler, a candleholder, and small decorative details that suggest a moment paused in time.

Rich jewel tones—cobalt blue, deep red, blush pink, and olive green—are layered with visible brushwork, creating a balance between flat decorative surfaces and tactile texture. The composition draws from traditional still life while embracing a modern, illustrative sensibility, where color and pattern carry as much weight as form.

The scene evokes intimacy, cultivated leisure, and the understated luxury of everyday rituals—an homage to literature, reflection, and slow living.

Materials used:

Acrylic on Wood Panel
