Earthy chocolate still life (2025)Oil painting by Yulia Odukalets

Set within a quiet interior, the vintage kettle and tableware appear in earthy brown and soft chocolate tones, rendered in textured oil layers.
The old-world atmosphere and horizontal composition create a sense of calm, warmth, and reflective stillness.

This painting reflects a moment when taste seems to disappear — not because it no longer exists, but because it has become too familiar.
Everything is known, named, arranged. Desires feel clear and defined, yet no longer surprising.
And a quiet question remains: what comes next?

“Recipe of Forgotten Chocolate” suggests that wonder returns not through something new, but through listening.
Through attention to a subtle inner impulse that has not yet become language.


This work invites the viewer to look beyond appearances — to trust awareness over habit, and to rediscover meaning within what is already known.
