'Still Life with Flowers' is a stirring example of a traditional Russian Flower painting that exudes an essence of Post-impressionism. Reflecting the mysticism of Sophiology, this painting challenges typical perceptions through its layered symbolism. The artist's use of Tempera gives the artwork a unique tactile charm adding to its overall allure. Painted on a sturdy Canvas, the vividly coloured blooms and striking contrasts showcase a defamiliarization of reality that is central to the symbolic art movement of late 19th and early 20th century Russia.
