The artwork entitled “Still Life with Orangeade,” created by Fernando Botero in 1987, falls under the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and belongs to the still life genre.
In the artwork, a dedicated arrangement of fruits and a bottle of orangeade are depicted in a serene, yet vivid composition. A halved watermelon dominates the scene from the left, revealing its vibrant pink interior. Next to it, a bowl overflows with yellow and orange fruits, including bananas and oranges, offering a satisfying harmony of colors. On the table, a sliced lemon and an elongated knife suggest a moment interrupted. A bottle filled with orange liquid stands alongside a glass of poured juice, each contributing to the lively yet composed atmosphere. The visual serenity is enhanced by a pastel pink cloth adorning the tabletop, while the backdrop remains a warm, inviting yellow. The deliberate choices in color and objects showcase Botero’s stylized, voluminous approach typical of his work within the Naïve Art movement.
