There is no opposit, as this is a stype and type of painting, and there are other types such as: رسومات تجريدية و/أو تشكيلية و/أو طبيعية
For more information please repost, so as to handle it term by term.

Explanation:
The above definition is quoted from the American Heritage Dictionary.

Your question should probably have been posted as English-English.

Still-life works are studies in formal arrangment, spatial geometry, and exquisite detail. Although these elements may be found in other subject matters, still-life works are more intensely concerned with these aspects.

Other visual arts subjects include personal portraits (individual and groups), animal life, landscapes,seascapes, cityscapes, dramatic moments (usually taken from history, fiction, legend, mythology, and Scritpural narratives), purely abstract works (such as geometrical shapes), and countless other subjects.
