Still life 

Dimitris Mytaras created this Still Life with fluid brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette. The composition, dominated by a bouquet of flowers, showcases Mytaras’ interest in abstraction while retaining recognizable forms. The painting is structured around the interplay of contrasting colors and shapes. Notice how the vivid reds and yellows of the flowers are set against a cool blue background, creating a sense of depth and dynamism. The black vase, rendered with bold, gestural lines, anchors the composition. Yet the vase's shape is unconventional and distorted, suggesting a subversion of traditional still-life conventions. Mytaras seems less concerned with mimetic representation and more focused on the expressive potential of color and form. The loose brushwork and simplified shapes reduce the objects to their essential visual components. The artist explores the structural elements of painting, challenging fixed meanings of still life and engaging with new ways of thinking about perception. The tension between abstraction and representation invites the viewer to actively participate in constructing the image’s meaning.
