Original artwork description:

A watercolor still life pays quiet tribute to authentic male friendship, capturing a moment both nostalgic and heartfelt. At the center of the composition stands a bottle of D.O.M. — its dark glass and classic label exuding tradition and quiet strength. Beside it, a crystal stemmed glass, half-filled with the amber-hued drink, catches the light, reflecting warmth and camaraderie.
Arranged around the bottle are simple yet thoughtful snacks — a few slices of lemon, a small cluster of grapes, and squares of rich chocolate. These are not lavish offerings, but familiar, comforting touches that suggest shared stories and time well spent.
Beneath everything lies a folded newspaper, its black-and-white print slightly blurred by the soft brushstrokes. But one detail stands out clearly — a few visible lines from a classic Russian song, “Ya veryu, druz’ya” (“I believe, my friends…”), evoking memories, loyalty, and a shared past.
The overall palette is warm, with earthy browns, golden tones, and soft shadows — capturing not just objects, but the quiet spirit of male friendship, built on respect, shared silence, and enduring bonds.
