The Shape We Keep: What Endures (2018) Original Watercolour by Valeria Buianova

16 x 21 x 1cm (framed) / 14 x 19cm (actual image size)

£133.03

The Shape We Keep: What Endures explores persistence — the parts of us that remain when time and experience transform everything else. The tree rises from several intertwined trunks, suggesting memories, values, relationships, and inner strengths that gradually become the foundation of identity.

Its dense crown unfolds through expressive marks of green, gold, and deep blue. The foliage seems to move and dissolve, while the multiple trunks hold the composition together. This contrast reflects the tension between change and continuity: our outward lives may shift, yet something essential remains.

The work invites viewers to consider which parts of themselves have survived time, pressure, and uncertainty. Its rich organic palette brings warmth, vitality, and the restorative presence of nature into an interior, making it especially meaningful for collectors drawn to symbolic contemporary art and reflections on resilience.
