More about this artwork

Three fish are depicted in a vertical line against a dark, almost black background. Each fish, with a pale, silvery body, appears to swim upward with its head pointing towards the top of the canvas. Their eyes are noticeably emphasized with a glossy, reflective quality. The paint strokes are visible and add a textured, almost gritty feel to their scaled bodies, capturing the play of light and shadow effectively. The overall atmosphere of the artwork feels somber and introspective, focusing primarily on the stark contrast between the fish and the deep darkness surrounding them.

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.
