Senar - Still Life

The "Still Life" genre emerged in the early 17th century. It consisted of compositions of inanimate subjects, most often flowers or fruit. While initially it was an opportunity for painters to experiment with naturalistic or photographic reproductions of reality, with contemporary art, the "Still Life" also became a way of interpreting reality. Indeed, as happened, for example, in the Cubist avant-garde or in Giorgio Morandi, the in-depth exploration of objects was aimed at a conceptual representation, taken beyond the mere sensory aspect.

The style developed by Senar in his fruit and flower compositions demonstrates a post-Impressionist maturity. The compositions are all compressed into the foreground, without any spatial depth. The painter's aim is not to capture the sensory aspect of the flowers and fruit, but to capture their very essence, their substance. To this end, the brushstrokes, rich in texture, intervene, which, despite the essentiality of the representation, fleshes out the objects, breaking them down into different planes, recording the vibrations of light and life within them.

Senar, the artist behind this still life, draws on a post-Impressionist pictorial language in his compositions. The sensory element is completely transcended in a complex conception of artistic creation in which the artist's gestures themselves play a fundamental role.
