Still life 

Panayiotis Tetsis made this still life painting with oils, depicting a domestic scene with a table, chair, and orchids. Born in Greece in 1925, Tetsis’s work is often seen as a reflection of his cultural heritage and personal experiences. In this painting, the vibrant colors, though muted, evoke a certain sense of familiarity and warmth. The orchids, centered in the composition, bring a quiet, contemplative mood. There's a sense of looking into a private, intimate space. The casual arrangement of objects and the soft, diffused light create a relaxed atmosphere. It is a space that feels both personal and universal, inviting viewers to reflect on their own relationships with domesticity and nature. This painting doesn't just represent objects; it captures a feeling, a moment of serene observation, and a connection to the simple beauty of everyday life.
