Berries, Coffee, and Candle - Original Oil Painting - Still Life Art - 12x12 inches

A serene, sun-drenched moment of quiet reflection.

"Berries, coffee, and candle" is a luminous original oil painting that perfectly captures the warm, peaceful energy of a slow morning. The composition features an intimate arrangement of everyday comforts: a lit tea light candle glowing softly inside a round glass jar, a clear glass mug filled with a warm amber drink, and a scattering of fresh blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries.

Bathed in strong, natural light, the objects cast long, dramatic purple and blue shadows across a highly textured, light-colored surface. Alai’s mastery of light is on full display here, as she captures the way the flame reflects in the glass jar and the way the tea glows within its transparent cup. The vibrant reds and deep blues of the berries provide a beautiful pop of color against the otherwise warm and neutral palette.

Painted on a 30x30 cm (approx. 12x12 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this artwork uses Alai’s signature thick impasto technique. The heavy application of oil paint gives the scene a wonderful tactile quality, especially in the "bumpy" texture of the berries and the shimmering highlights on the metal spoon and glass surfaces. This piece is a perfect centerpiece for a cozy kitchen, a quiet reading nook, or as a sophisticated addition to a still-life collection.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Masterful Light & Glass: The painting beautifully explores the complex reflections and transparency of two different glass vessels interacting with light and shadow.
• Rich Textural Contrast: Thick, confident brushstrokes differentiate the soft, juicy flesh of the raspberries from the smooth, hard surface of the ceramic-look tabletop and the polished metal spoon.
• Atmospheric Palette: The mix of warm golden glows and cool, saturated berry tones creates a balanced and deeply comforting visual experience.
