Still Life Polly

Across the emotive works of Aliya Abs, every brushstroke tells its own story and every shade of color is like a soothing melody. In this collection of 17 works, Abs invites us into a world full of feelings, memories, and desires. From fleeting thoughts to deep longings, her works reveal the invisible streams of thought of every viewer. 

The modern portraits leave plenty of room for interpretation: Just when you think you have fully recognized and understood yourself or a special person, the paintings whisper new secrets as elegant vases with flowers and pieces of furniture act as silent witnesses.

Abs uses acrylic and oil pastels on canvas to create a texture that invites the viewer to explore the depth of the colors and shapes again and again. Her works fill the room with an atmosphere ranging from harmonious to slightly melancholic — entirely at the will of the viewer.
