Still-life with pating brushes 1953

Mariam Aslamazian's "Still-life with Painting Brushes" from 1953 is a vibrant oil painting capturing the essence of an artist's studio. The composition features a dramatic arrangement of fabrics, likely representing an artist's drapery, in bold hues of yellow, red, and purple. A simple still life of a vase filled with paintbrushes and an orange nestled on a plate adds a touch of everyday life, highlighting the artist's world and the tools of their trade. The painting's dynamic interplay of light and shadow emphasizes the textures of the objects, giving a sense of depth and realism. This work is characteristic of Aslamazian's approach to still life, where she utilized the subject matter as a vehicle to explore color and form in a vibrant and expressive way.
