Still Life 1

Every series has to start somewhere. This is where it began.

Still Life 1 is the painting that started it all — the first step in a creative experiment that asked a deceptively simple question: what happens when I stop looking outward and start painting what's right in front of me?

For Sue Fantini, an artist whose work has long been fuelled by the colours and cultures of global travel, turning her gaze to the everyday objects of her own home was genuinely new territory. The result is this — a bold, joyful, utterly original painting that marks the beginning of something special.

The First Chapter of a New Creative Story

There's something uniquely compelling about owning the piece where a series begins. Still Life 1 isn't just a painting — it's a creative pivot point. The moment an established Australian artist decided to try something different, trust her instincts, and see where they led.

Painted with the same signature boldness and love of colour that defines all of Sue's work, this piece carries that extra layer of significance that only a first in a series can hold.

On a 30 x 30cm canvas, it arrives ready to hang — small in scale, but big in personality.

However you choose to display it, this painting will bring warmth, colour, and a real sense of story to your space every single day.

And as with every original in this series — once it's sold, it's gone. There is no restock. No reprint. Just this one painting, waiting for the right wall to call home.
