Completed in the serene light of a Mediterranean January, "Still Life with Pink Vase and Lemons" is a vibrant exploration of domestic warmth and seasonal vitality. This 60x80cm oil on canvas captures the "quiet season" of the coast, where the air is crisp and the colors of the home take on a new, luminous intensity.
The composition is centered around a structural pink vase and the zesty, sun-bright yellow of winter lemons. Wain uses a rich, expressive palette to create a rhythmic dialogue between the objects and their environment, from the deep-blue botanical textile to the warm, geometric pattern of the terracotta-tiled floor.
While firmly contemporary in its execution, the work carries a sophisticated nod to the modernist tradition of the Mediterranean. Wain’s use of bold, simplified forms and decorative patterns evokes the spirit of Matisse, particularly in the way she flattens perspective to prioritize color harmony and "joie de vivre." The result is a painting that feels both grounded and uplifting, a celebration of the beauty found in the simple arrangement of a winter table.
