Still Life with Hoya, Oil on Canvas

Lovely oil still life on canvas, signed and dated 01 lower eights, titled “Still Life with Hoya” verso, is a quiet, sun-warmed tabletop arrangement painted with a soft, domestic intimacy. At center, a pale blue-white ceramic pot holds a trailing hoya plant - its stems arc outward and upward, carrying thick, waxy green leaves that spread like slow-moving gestures across the composition.

Around the pot, fruit is set low and close to the viewer: a cluster of pale green grapes spills forward, flanked by deep red apples, bright oranges, and a yellow lemon that catches the strongest light. To the left, an amber glass bottle with a rounded shoulder stands against a patterned fabric backdrop, its translucent browns and golds echoing the warm tones in the fruit. The background cloth, decorated with loose floral motifs, adds a gentle rhythm without competing for attention. Quite joy!
