This original work «Enjoyment of beauty» was created by contemporary Russian artist Leonella Vok and is available for purchase online.
«Enjoyment of beauty» is a painting inviting the viewer to pay attention to the fleeting beauty of the simple things that surround us.
At the center of the composition is a dish made of antique silver, covered with patina, resembling a shard of a tarnished mirror. On its surface lie ripe fruits.
An angel in the background looks indifferently at the withering fruits and embodies a silent reminder that there is something eternal in this world, beyond the merciless passage of time. Its depiction is a replica of frescoes from the Villa of the Mysteries in Pompeii — a city whose life was abruptly ended, preserving only fragments of art for future generations.
Associations with images of gods, who are not subject to the destructive power of time, form the basis of the color scheme: the bright red background, resembling a volcanic eruption, symbolizes passion for life, while the cool blue and silvery shades, like ash, evoke thoughts of the transience of all things.
The message embedded in the painting emerges through the paint: «It is priceless to enjoy the beauty of simple things.» The life we are accustomed to can end in an instant.
The painting «Enjoyment of beauty» becomes a visual metaphor for conscious existence: it offers not just to decorate a space, but to capture a moment of beauty. Just as the ash of Vesuvius preserved Pompeii for eternity, it captures in memory the fragile harmony of a fleeting moment and teaches us to savor its perfection here and now.
