As a photographer, I feel a deep respect for the beauty that lies in the simplicity of everyday objects. This photographic still life, featuring a glass bottle filled with rich, golden olive oil and a bulb of garlic, is an ode to the subtle splendour of the ordinary. The dark background enhances the textures and colours of the objects, while the light creates a sophisticated play of shadows and reflections, giving the composition a unique depth and dimension.
My work is strongly influenced by the classical still lifes of Pieter Claesz and the serene compositions of Giorgio Morandi. Like these masters, I strive to make the viewer dwell on the often overlooked beauty of the everyday. The minimalist arrangement and deliberately chosen dark background ensure that all attention goes to the objects themselves, without any distractions.
This still life invites you to stop and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The combination of olive oil and garlic evokes images of Mediterranean cuisine, where these ingredients take centre stage. This image is not only a visual delight, but also a celebration of taste, smell and beauty, captured in a single moment.
