Ah, the opposite of a still life in art is something called a "motion or action painting." Instead of capturing objects that are quiet and still, like fruits or flowers, you would paint subjects that are full of movement and energy, like dancers or animals in motion. It's all about capturing the beauty of things in action, bringing life and vitality to your artwork. Just remember, there are no mistakes in art, only happy accidents.

Moving Landscape is the only possible term available for the opposite of still Life.

If we called it static life then we could call the opposite 'moving life'. But we don't so the etymology has a problem.

A Moving Landcape, entails still and moving elements (still, inanimate dead matter with living beings moving around).
