What is still-life?

Still-life involves drawing or painting objects such as fruit, flowers, or household items that are normally arranged on a table or a shelf. Artists typically create still-life paintings to reflect the status of their owner, show a symbolic meaning reveals a hidden story or idea, to capture the natural beauty of an object, or to express the abstract elements of the physical elements of a controlled structure. Still life has existed in different forms, but it dates back to the time of the Ancient Romans and Greeks. Since these times, still life has served as a platform for artists to show off their technical skills.
