Spiral (2026) Original Ink Drawing by Polina Salenko

18.5 x 19.5 x 0.1cm (unframed)

£173.67

This intricate illustration depicts a tumultuous battle between the primal animal world and a celestial force, embodied by a towering goddess-like archer. On the left, a monstrous, skeletal beast representing the raw, predatory side of nature lunges forward with a gaping maw, its body dissolving into a chaotic network of roots and veins. Opposing it is the elegant, luminous figure of a divine huntress, who draws her bow with calm precision, representing order and higher consciousness amidst the biological frenzy.

The conflict is not just a physical struggle but a cosmic cycle of life and decay, emphasized by the unsettling details scattered throughout the scene:

The Harvesting of Essence: In the lower-right section, near the base of the goddess's form, tiny, ant-like human figures are depicted in a state of desperate toil. They are seen gathering a mysterious liquid into small vessels—a "divine nectar" or perhaps life force—that drips from a large, overturned pitcher hanging from above.
