This original work «The day watch» was created by contemporary Russian artist Oleg Mayorov and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Oleg Mayorov “The Day Watch” is a witty and joyful continuation of the night watch theme, but it turns it upside down by featuring a cosmic cat under the rays of daylight.
At the center of the composition is a familiar, stocky figure of a black cat standing on a bright red tiled roof. However, unlike its nocturnal counterpart, this cat glows from within not with mysterious gleams, but with entire constellations. Its black fur is sprinkled with many bright, shining dots — white, golden, and even colored — creating the effect of a living, shimmering galaxy that somehow appears in daylight.
The most striking detail is the expression on its face. The cat smiles broadly, its eyes shining with a cheerful, yellow light. There is no night mystery in this image, only pure, carefree bliss and contentment with its existence. It looks completely happy, being a “star” in the middle of the day.
The background is a bright blue sky with a few fluffy white clouds. This is a sharp contrast to the dark, starry night of the previous painting. Here Mayorov plays on the paradox: even when the cosmic “watchman” takes his daytime shift, his inner nature remains unchanged — he still carries the imprint of night and stars.
“The Day Watch” is a hymn to imagination and positivity. The artist invites us to believe that magic does not disappear with the sunrise. It simply changes form, hiding in the smile of a strange but charming cat who seems ready to share a piece of its starry light with the coming day.
You can hang this painting on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
