Steadily manifesting himself in interior painting, with which he would identify, the artist Pallady created in this spirit throughout his creation, addressing characteristic genres, such as: static nature, genre scene, portrait or nude. With an always distinct prop, consisting of flower vases, paintings, books, boxes, periodicals, fruit, knives, glasses, pipes or statuettes, his compositions will always be in perfect balance, carefully established by the perfectionist artist. Although modest in nature, the objects of his props are transfigured into a symphony of meanings, rhythms and colours, the real subject of an interior composition being his poetics, revealed through expressions, intensities and harmonies. An obvious balance can also be seen in the composition of forms and chromatics, based on laws governing the compositional relationships. Intimately involved in the technique of his craft, as well as in the architectural composition of composition, colour, rhythm and atmosphere, Pallady would be an original interpreter of the material. A favourite of oil, the artist will convert this material into temperate, faded and matte interpretations. Representing a large part of his artwork, the static nature paintings give him full freedom in terms of the spirit of construction and synthesis, in his tirelessly search to create order and a harmonious balance. Flowers are often noticed in the ambiance of static nature, in addition to the indispensable objects. Of different species and shades - sunflower, tulips, chrysanthemums, crocus, violas, youth-and-age flowers, elderflowers, daffodils, all take part in the composition of complex compositions, where everyday life, intimacy and familiar objects reveal their mystery.
