Still Life with Roses and Fruit
By Luciana Leeman, Survivor

Luciana discovered CBTF through the Creative Matter Art Workshops, where she found inspiration and connection through art. Her piece, Still Life with Roses and Fruit, is a 16" x 20" acrylic-on-canvas still life that reflects her deep appreciation for the tradition of still life painting and the balance of form, color, and composition.

At the center of the work, a green vase holds a bouquet of pink roses, their soft petals and rich green leaves contrasting against a warm, textured background. Around the vase sit pears, apples, oranges, and clusters of purple and green grapes, each rendered with careful attention to light and shadow to highlight their ripeness and natural beauty.
