Still Life with Flowers and Idol | Paul Gauguin

Still Life with Flowers and Idol (circa 1892) by Paul Gauguin is a vibrant and symbolic still life painting that features a combination of exotic flowers and a small idol, likely representing Gauguin's fascination with the primitive and spiritual. The flowers, lush and colourful, are rendered with bold, expressive brushstrokes, characteristic of Gauguin’s post-impressionist style. The idol, positioned among the flowers, introduces a sense of mystery and reverence, reflecting Gauguin’s interest in Tahitian culture and the symbolic meanings he attributed to objects. The juxtaposition of the natural and the spiritual elements in this painting conveys a sense of depth and contemplation, blending the everyday with the otherworldly in a beautiful, meditative composition.
