Mojito ! – Cocktail Time is an oil painting presenting a contemporary still life centered on a simple yet evocative scene: a glass of mojito, fresh lime, and a bottle of Boca Chica rum arranged on a patterned surface. Set against a dark background, the composition highlights contrasts of light and color, allowing the vibrant greens and turquoise tones to emerge with clarity.
The painting explores the quiet poetry of everyday rituals, where ordinary objects become carriers of atmosphere and memory. Through careful attention to transparency, reflections, and texture, the work balances realism with a subtle sense of intimacy.
Created by Virginie Martin-Blaise, this oil painting reflects an ongoing interest in still life as a space for observation, color relationships, and contemplative presence.
