Alex, what a complex and ambitious work !
Something I find beautiful about it is the narrow range of colours you have used. Not only the painting is almost monochromatic apart from the reds and green, but there is also quite a narrow range of tones.
Taking out the lamp, the greys of the room are very close to one another, and this feels very real: it happens to me sometimes in facing a subject that I panic thinking, gosh this is just all the same colour, how am I going to paint it ?
Well, you have achieved variety with the brushwork and different thickness of the paint, something I really should remember for the future.
