Cleaning Brushes II - Original Oil Painting - Art Studio Life - 8.7x10.6 inches

A vibrant, high-energy tribute to the artist’s daily ritual.

"Cleaning brushes II" is a luminous original oil painting that transforms a common studio chore into a mesmerizing study of light and reflection. The composition features an intimate, top-down perspective of a shiny chrome faucet as water splashes over a hand cleaning a yellow-handled paintbrush. The scene is set in a vibrant teal and blue sink, where a bar of yellow soap and a green bottle of detergent sit nearby, all caught in a mosaic of colorful light.

The painting is a masterclass in capturing reflective surfaces. Alai uses thick, expressive strokes of electric pink, soft lavender, and bright yellow to mimic the way metal and water catch the surrounding environment. The contrast between the warm skin tones of the hand and the cool, saturated teals of the sink creates a dynamic visual vibration that is hallmark to her style.

Painted on a 22x27 cm (approx. 8.7x10.6 inch) handmade primed cradled wood panel, this artwork showcases Alai’s signature impasto technique. The heavy application of oil paint gives the running water a sense of movement and the chrome fixtures a sculptural, 3D quality. It is a soulful, relatable centerpiece for an art studio, a modern bathroom, or any space that celebrates the beauty of the creative process.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Luminous Metalwork: Thick, confident brushstrokes masterfully capture the difficult illusion of reflective chrome, filled with a spectrum of "hidden" colors.
• Dynamic Atmosphere: The "frozen" action of splashing water and swirling soap suds creates a sense of life and energy that draws the eye instantly.
