Surreal Still Life with Colorful Spheres

More about Surreal Still Life with Colorful Spheres

An oil painting on canvas titled "Magic Ball" by Voris Nereus depicts an illusionistic, surreal still life. Fifteen highly reflective spheres with patterned surfaces in a variety of vibrant colors (purple, blue, red, yellow, and orange) float or hover over a spotlighted ground: several large- and medium-sized balls are clustered and reflected on the shiny surface of an antique white chess pawn/drinking goblet with a clear, bell-shaped cover. A small white marble hangs from the cover by a string. Dark shadows fill the remainder of the composition and several smaller balls are also depicted in the background, almost hidden from view.
