Rebirth | Original Oil Still Life Painting by Liliya Muglia

Rebirth is an original oil painting on panel (18 × 14 inches) that explores themes of renewal, transformation, and the quiet persistence of life. Painted in a tenebrist style, the composition emerges from a deep, shadowed ground, where white lilies rise gradually toward the light. Each bloom appears at a different stage of unfolding, creating a visual rhythm that reflects growth, continuity, and the passage of time.

The lilies—symbols long associated with rebirth and spiritual renewal—are supported by interwoven branches and closed buds, grounding the composition in structure and natural order. At the base of the painting, softly colored eggs rest alongside small fruits, their rounded forms suggesting origin, potential, and the beginning of life. These elements introduce warmth and balance, anchoring the ethereal qualities of the flowers in the physical world.

Through restrained color, controlled light, and meticulous surface detail, Rebirth invites prolonged contemplation rather than immediate resolution. The painting speaks quietly but with intention, offering a meditation on resilience and regeneration that resonates across personal and universal experience. Its timeless symbolism and classical execution make it a compelling addition for collectors drawn to meaningful still life painting rooted in tradition.

The original artwork remains in the artist’s private collection and is available for acquisition. Fine art print options are also offered for collectors seeking a carefully produced reproduction that preserves the depth, color, and symbolic detail of the original work.
