Yamazaki – Cocktail Time

Yamazaki – Cocktail Time is an oil painting presenting a contemporary still life centered on a bottle of Japanese whisky and a glass set against a neutral background. The composition emphasizes balance and restraint, allowing subtle variations of light, reflection, and texture to emerge with clarity.

The work explores the quiet ritual of tasting and pause, where everyday objects become carriers of atmosphere and presence. The contrast between the transparency of the glass, the warm amber tones of the whisky, and the softness of the surrounding fabric creates a contemplative and intimate space.

Created by Virginie Martin-Blaise, this painting belongs to the Cocktail Time series, in which still life becomes a field for observation, material sensitivity, and a poetic approach to ordinary moments.
