More about this artwork

The painting depicts a single, withered rose suspended against a dark, textured background. The rose, now fading, consists of petals tinged with bruised shades of pink and beige, curling and folding into themselves with age. The flower's head droops heavily forward from a slender, desiccated stem, accompanied by a few dried leaves clinging loosely. The overall atmosphere evokes a somber and reflective mood, capturing the beauty and inevitable decay inherent in life. The use of muted colors and soft focus enhances the ethereal and melancholic feeling of the scene.

Monika Požerskytė (b. 1981) is a member of the younger generation of Lithuanian photographers. 

In "Life of Still Life series, Monika uses her camera to do what artists have been doing on canvas for centuries - capturing various natural objects in the genre of still life (French: nature morte - dead nature). Like the works of the old Dutch masters, Monika's photographs emphasise the lifelessness of nature, showing how it evolves, wrinkles, dries, shrinks and fades. The artist's entire oeuvre is imbued with a romantic nostalgia, an awareness of the fragility of life, which is particularly accentuated by the artist's palette, which is muted, as if faded, combining warm and cold shades.

The artist's works are also distinguished by their materiality - the digital photographs are printed on plywood panels. The traditional genre of painting and the most common base (wood panel) sound completely new in the format of a digitally manipulated photograph. The texture of the wood adds warmth and cosiness to the artist's works.
