Representation of inanimate objects, such as flowers or fruit, in painting or photography
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.
