Concept
Still life paintings, one of the genres of Western painting, are works in which the artist himself freely arranges and composes stationary natural objects such as fruit and vessels. In this work, the dominant colour is extracted from a motif of 100 images obtained from an image search on the internet, and a new expression of still life is created using images of the same colour as these.
