The World of Westloft Design, Interiors & Decorative Arts

Still Life

An artwork composed around inanimate objects, such as fruit, flowers or household vessels.

The definition

What is Still Life?

Still life focuses on arranged objects rather than a moving scene. The subject may include food, flowers, bottles, books or everyday possessions. Light, composition and the relationship between forms can make familiar objects feel newly significant.

The Westloft perspective

In the World of Westloft

A bowl, bottle or piece of fruit can be an excellent anchor for a kitchen or dining room. Choose the picture for its visual character rather than relying only on a literal room-to-subject match.
