Interior Still Life With Plants – Oil On Canvas By Carmen Roger Especeta

This richly atmospheric still life, painted in 1987 by Carmen Roger Especeta, captures a quiet, contemplative corner of an artist's studio in Palma de Mallorca. With lush potted plants arranged across an intricately patterned tiled floor, the composition radiates warmth, life, and Mediterranean serenity. Especeta’s expressive yet controlled brushwork breathes energy into the scene, pairing deep greens and crimson blooms with soft lilac shadows and geometric symmetry.

In the background, a stack of empty canvases and frames hints at the hum of creative work, grounding the painting in an authentic artist’s world. This piece is ideal for art collectors and designers seeking a soulful work that merges botanical beauty with architectural texture. Perfect for bright interiors, reading corners, or curated studio walls, this painting tells a story of artistic solitude and subtle vibrancy.

Signed and dated by the artist, this is a rare original work from Mallorca with timeless appeal.

Still Life / Interior Scene

Contemporary Realism

This work evokes the quiet interior intimacy of Henri Matisse, with its patterned flooring and lush indoor plants, while also reflecting the tonal subtlety and observational stillness found in English artist Gwen John. The painterly yet restrained style bridges both Mediterranean warmth and British domestic realism.
