Here we see an undated still life painting by Ligia Macovei, composed with loose, gestural brushstrokes. The painting features a vase of flowers, set against a muted backdrop, alongside other common household objects. The visible brushstrokes across the canvas create a sense of movement, almost destabilizing the fixed subject matter. The vase of flowers, though seemingly traditional, is presented through a modernist lens, which leans more toward abstraction. Macovei uses color to define forms, rather than relying on precise outlines. The objects are constructed through color relationships. The lack of clear definition challenges traditional still life conventions, where objects are meticulously rendered. Instead, Macovei explores the essence of these forms. Through this approach, Macovei pushes the boundaries of representation, inviting us to see beyond the mere depiction of objects and to consider the dynamic interplay between color, form, and space.
