Crevette – Simple life is a contemporary still life painting depicting a single shrimp placed on a neutral surface. The composition emphasizes simplicity and direct observation, allowing color, texture, and form to emerge without distraction.
The work explores the quiet presence of everyday food objects, transforming a humble subject into a contemplative image. Subtle variations in light and brushwork highlight the material qualities of the shrimp while maintaining a restrained, balanced palette.
Created by Virginie Martin-Blaise, this painting reflects an ongoing interest in still life as a space for attention, slowness, and visual clarity, where ordinary elements become moments of focused perception.
