Soft living

This painting presents a sleeping cat as a quiet ornamental presence, almost dissolving into the patterned surface beneath it. Soft blue, cream, and pale gold tones create a hushed atmosphere, while the symmetrical floral motif around the figure gives the composition a meditative stillness. Rather than emphasizing narrative or realism, the work focuses on rest, warmth, and decorative harmony. The cat appears less as a subject observed from life than as part of a gently enclosed world of pattern, softness, and calm.
