Still Life in Olive Tone
Still Life in Olive Tone presents a composition focused on everyday objects arranged to emphasize their texture and volume. The painting is maintained in a subdued color scheme dominated by olive tones, giving the work an atmosphere of calm and contemplation. In the upper right corner of the composition, the artist placed an oval mirror reflecting the face of a man – presumably a synthetic self-portrait of Bereźnicki.
