Old Terracotta

A scene of quiet, timeless beauty

An old terracotta vessel with two handles, discovered at an antique shop and brought home to be painted. Nestled inside it, a handful of small, delicate flowers - fragile and fresh against the ancient warmth of the clay. The whole composition rests on a whitish old linen cloth, on a wooden shelf, as if it has always been there and always will be.

This is a painting about the beauty of simple, layered things - old and new, rough and delicate, earthy and floral - all coming together in a scene of extraordinary quiet. It is the kind of still life that feels like a memory, even if it is not yours.

Collecting original art

Owning an original painting means owning something no one else in the world has. This piece was painted entirely by hand by Marta Stolarska - every texture of the terracotta, every fold of the linen, every delicate petal observed and rendered with care.

Old clay, delicate flowers, worn linen, and a wooden shelf - a still life that feels like coming home.
