This original work «The twilight watch» was created by contemporary Russian artist Oleg Mayorov and is available for purchase online.
The painting by Oleg Mayorov “Сумеречный Дозор” revisits the image of the guardian cat, but this time presents it in a more monumental and mysterious manner than in other works of the series.
The central figure is a huge black cat, whose form is exaggerated and stretched vertically, resembling either an obelisk or a stylized perfume bottle. Its fur is depicted with thousands of fine, dark strokes, creating a sense of incredible density and velvety texture. The cat’s yellow, piercing eyes look directly at the viewer, radiating calm yet all-knowing vigilance.
The scene unfolds at dusk or early night. In the background, the silhouette of a city can be discerned with its roofs and windows, from which a timid warm yellow light peeks out, hinting at the peace and sleep of the inhabitants. Above the giant cat’s head hangs a crescent moon, surrounded by a soft, diffused glow, marking the time of day — the transition from day to night.
The entire background is enveloped in a gray-white shimmer created by a stippling technique, which gives the image the effect of fog, frost, or simply a mystical haze enveloping the city lights. The cat’s tail is elegantly curled, adding grace to this majestic figure.
“Сумеречный Дозор” is a visualization of the magic of transition. The black cat at twilight has always been a symbol of the boundary between worlds. Here, it acts as a silent, unwavering guardian whose presence ensures that the city will sleep safely under its watchful gaze, illuminated only by the crescent moon.
This painting can be hung on the wall in your apartment, house, office, restaurant, or hotel, and it will become a wonderful decoration for your interior.
