Lemon Siesta

A fresh and uplifting still life, “Lemon Siesta” captures the quiet charm of a sun-drenched moment. Four lemons rest casually on a hand-painted ceramic plate, surrounded by warm golden tones and soft, Mediterranean light.

This piece was created using a layered technique: a base of acrylic paint lays the foundation for light and composition, followed by a final layer of oil applied with buttery texture and expressive brushstrokes, giving the lemons a rich, tactile presence.

Ideal for a dining room or kitchen space, this artwork brings a sense of warmth, freshness, and timeless simplicity to any interior.

Anastasia is a creative person who has always loved to paint since childhood. She has been exploring different art mediums and techniques since 2016, but eventually found her footing in the use of acrylic and oil paint. She likes loose, expressive, and sometimes thick impasto brush strokes executed with the palette knife, which add texture and depth to the paintings. Her naive, impressionistic, and highly expressive style conveys authentic and pure emotions.

Anastasia mostly paints flowers and still-life scenes. However, she also likes to create landscapes, abstracts, and animals. Anastasia believes that art has the power to heal, and she hopes that her paintings will inspire people to think more positively and spread happiness wherever they go.
