Still life

This still life is hand-sewn on dark burgundy velvet. The composition is a wide horizontal format. It features a table loaded with fruit trays and vases filled with flowers. The multicoloured patches are of different textures, including vintage embroidery pieces, are used to recreate fruits, flowers and leaves, and irregularly distributed on the surface. The deepness of the dark velvet used as the background contrasts with the bright coloured overlaying patches, which adds a decorative element to the composition.
