This original work, «These are not my shoes», was created by the contemporary Russian artist Derun Ekaterina and is available for purchase online.
Ekaterina Derun's painting «These are not my shoes» is an intriguing still life that, using the artist's characteristic geometric stylization, creates an atmosphere of mystery and alienation.
At the center of the composition, two worn shoes are depicted. They are rendered in muted, earthy tones — gray, brown, and olive. As in Derun's other works, each object is presented as a set of geometric planes connected to each other. This gives the footwear an angular, almost futuristic appearance while retaining a recognizable shape. The laces are also stylized, emphasizing the overall graphic quality.
The background of the painting is done in warm ochre and brown tones with geometric elements that could be part of a wooden floor, a box, or a chair. On the right, a dark vertical space is visible, possibly a wall or a doorway.
The title of the painting — «These are not my shoes» — is a key element that transforms a simple still life into a narrative. It immediately raises questions: whose shoes are these? Why are they here? Where has their owner gone? This creates a sense of mystery, a fleeting presence of someone else, or the artist’s own awareness of alienation from what is depicted.
Derun’s painting is not just a depiction of footwear, but a profound reflection on personal space, traces of presence, and unspoken stories contained within everyday objects.
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.
