Original artwork description:

Modern Fermont is a word I invented — a contemporary reimagining of the classical still life.
Instead of fruits — pearls and wine.
Instead of a vase — a skull and books.
Instead of emptiness — a woman full of symbolism.
She becomes the story.

Painted in oil on linen with a textured base.
The pearls are sculpted in relief and glow by candlelight.
Moths drift toward the moon and flame.
The corseted figure recalls a vase — but instead of flowers, she holds herself.

Inspired by poetry, memory, beauty, and transformation.
As fleeting as life — and as eternal as a book by Ukrainian poet Serhiy Zhadan.

Materials used:

oil, acrylic, modeling paste
