Everyday Morocco in a still life

Moroccan Still Life (2021, 57 × 40 cm) is a composition of traditional everyday objects: a teapot, scales, fruit and vegetables, set on a dark cloth.

The still life is a classical genre of oil painting. Here it is used to record the objects of Moroccan daily life, with the dark ground making the colours and shapes of the objects stand out.

It sits beside DAMSSILI's landscapes and riders as a quieter, closer view of the same culture.
