This original work «Journey through time» was created by contemporary Russian artist Leonella Vok and is available for purchase online.
The painting «Journey through time» is a reflection on the impermanence of our lives and the metamorphoses we undergo.
Ripe pears on a plate symbolize the life path from the past – the period of blossoming, to the present – the fruit at the peak of maturity. Another key element of the composition is the terracotta folds framing the fruits like ancient scrolls — keepers of history and bearers of generational memory.
In the background are replicas of ancient frescoes from the palace of King Minos in Knossos: a blue monkey — a symbol of metamorphosis and thirst for change, and a jug holding the secrets of millennia. These material testimonies from the island of Crete — tangible traces of a great but vanished civilization.
The painting not only offers the opportunity to connect with ancient artifacts but also carries a message: «There is a special magic in setting out on a journey and then returning completely transformed.» The words emerge through the paint like echoes of our thoughts.
The work reflects the personal experiences of the artist: it was painted at a moment when the artist, after a successful business career, radically changed her life: stepping out of her comfort zone and pursuing her dream – to make a name for herself in the art world. The painting reveals a fundamental law of existence, showing how at the crossroads of life, each choice marks the end of one path and the beginning of another, opening new opportunities and ways.
INVESTMENT APPEAL
The investment appeal of the painting «Journey through time» is based on its belonging to a thematic series, active exhibition history, stable market demand, recorded price growth for reproductions, and publication in a professional art magazine.
The work is part of the series «In the Footsteps of Lost Civilizations», where each piece is built on the conceptual unity of visual image, title, and text integrated into the painted surface.
The exhibition activity of the work covers various levels of the art market. In 2025, the painting was presented at the international multimedia exhibition «Dialogue across Continents», aimed at key players in the art community, including leading American galleries and participants of the Art Basel and Frieze fairs. That same year, the painting, along with other works from the series «In the Footsteps of Lost Civilizations», participated in the all-Russian exhibition-competition «Talent of Russia» in Moscow and in the artist’s solo exhibition in Padua (Italy).
Stable market demand is confirmed by successful sales of its reproductions (premium giclée, limited edition of 10 copies) on the «АртСреда» platform: between June and October 2025, two reproductions were sold. The sales price showed positive growth dynamics, confirming the increasing interest in the artist’s work and directly influencing the investment value of the original.
Publication of the work in the authoritative print edition «Art and Life» (volume 24) further strengthens the piece’s position in the art market.
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.
