CHINESE VASE WITH SHELL [17.7" x 23.6"] Print

All Jemal's realistic paintings are painted using the technique of the old masters, who used several layers of oil and glaze. Glazing is a successive application of transparent layer of paint over another dried layer of paint. When glazing in oils artist applies multiple layers and each layer affects the final oil painting and gives the picture the effect of transparency. The task of this method of work is to obtain complex shades of color by optical mixing of "pure" colors, superimposed one on top of the other. Jemal, like Titian, loves to paint over used canvases, but in this work, he used a canvas that he made himself, stretched on a stretcher and primed. The artist finds this process exciting and says, that it influences a quality of the completed work. The subjects of this still life were not chosen by chance. Oriental philosophies are very attractive to the artist, and he considers fine Chinese porcelain and its floral ornaments to be the pinnacle of perfection. Jemal often draws seashells to symbolise the beginning and end of life. The combination of these elements in the still life shows the fragility of our existence.
