Description of the Artwork “Still life with insects”
This painting is a still life that resembles the paintings of Dutch masters. At first glance, the viewer sees a vase with plants, but upon closer inspection it becomes obvious that instead of flowers, insects of various species, from butterflies to beetles and ants, are located in the vase, which creates an unexpected and original image. The painting is executed in gloomy but saturated colors, which give the scene a sense of depth and mystery. The exquisite detailing of the insects highlights their unique beauty and complexity, inviting the viewer to rethink their role in nature and art. The painting is decorated with an expressive frame. This work of art reminds us of the diversity and beauty of nature in its smallest manifestations, reminding us of the wonder of wildlife that often goes unnoticed.
