Still-Life Art. Impressive Masterpieces in 3D.

October 28th, 2009

Still-life paintings capture the visual impression of the objects. They focus on the whole composition and bring it to us in the least details. The genre of still-life painting implies the way of rendering the author’s observation and his symbolic ideas. The choice of certain objects for study, their arrangement, the lightening – everything plays a role. These paintings are interesting due to their study of the objects when the creator transfers the object on the canvas, its shape, the light and the shadows the object makes and its relations to the other objects. They blend colors and create the illusion of form. The narrative arrangements that we sometimes observe in these works of art are awesome and eye-catchy. There is a great variety of these pieces of art. Among still-life paintings you will find the flower pieces, still-life fruit paintings, kitchen pieces. These paintings throw back at the viewer the impression of this still beauty.

 

This collection is devoted to 3D still-life paintings. They are created in the traditions of the classical paintings of this genre, but worked out in amazing 3D.
