About Still Life with Orangeade

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.
