This digital artwork captures the ambience of a 1950s kitchen with impressive precision and warmth. The space is compact but full of character. The walls are lightly plastered, with a small crack or discolouration here and there, adding to the charm of the bygone era. There is no wallpaper, no frills - just the raw simplicity of white stucco, which reflects daylight beautifully.
The countertop is solid grey stone, dulled by years of use. On the countertop is a sturdy string bean mill. A whipped cream beater, in which traces of whipped cream remain, stands next to it.
Attached to the wall is a white geyser, with robust metal pipes and white knobs. Below the geyser is the sink, with a soap beaterl inside. Plates and a cup wait in the rack next to it. In the corner of the sink is a green petrol stove, small but functional, with a pan on top of which you can almost hear the simmering.
On the wall above the sink hang metal spoons and a tea towel on a simple rack. The whole place exudes an air of calm and solidity. This digital artwork aptly captures the soul of an everyday but lovingly used kitchen from the 1950s
