The meaning of a Still life The objects chosen for a still life painting often have a special meaning, either on a personal, cultural, societal, religious or philosophical level. The themes surrounding the artwork often provoke introspection and reflection in the viewer. The way that the objects are depicted can evoke a wide variety of emotions, depending on their arrangement, as well as the lighting, color choice, and handling of the paint. These are all things to take into account when viewing a still life artwork. They are especially important to consider when you are creating one.

"What does it mean?" "Hmm, pretty objects",... and quickly move on to the next painting. But the artwork usually goes much deeper than just depicting pretty objects. Even if a piece is purportedly meaningless, there is always an underlying thought process behind the work. (And if you want to look at art intelligently, it's important to examine the artwork with an investigative eye and an inquisitive mind!)

What is this painting about? There are four objects in the painting. What do they have in common? the predominating colors of yellow and orange. So, they work well together visually. What all of they have in common? Let's examine their function – What are they used for in everyday life? They symbolize the potential for future fun, as well as conjure up memories of past fun. In the present, they are just simply there. Simply being. And what about that stark white background... what does it mean? Basically, the white background forces you to focus your direct attention on the objects. they represent stereotypical emblems of childhood. They are timeless and unattached to a specific location. They could be anywhere. They could even be drifting in the white cloud of your imagination
