The Last Cigarette
The Mount Eliza Art & Design Show has finished for 2025 - see you again next year during the last weekend in October!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is an original oil painting on a cotton canvas stretched on a wooden frame. The size : 102 X 102 cm. The painting has been signed on the back. The paint is fully cured and the surface is dry to touch. It can be hung on pre-installed loop screws or plastic hooks.
It was inspired by studying masterpieces created by an Italian artist – Caravaggio. He was the first who combined two styles: still life and macabre themes. That combination revived the original French meaning of this style – “Nature Morte”, in English verbatim translation it would sound like “Dead nature”. I decided to use an impressionistic technique to create this painting because I thought it would make the overall impression more dramatic.
