Madame Arcimboldo
Viktoria Protsiv
76 x 44
Paper, silk, ink, watercolor
In a world where still life meets surreal imagination, behold “Madame Arcimboldo” This captivating piece defies convention, merging the ordinary with the extraordinary.
Our protagonist stands tall, her form both elegant and unexpected. She defies the traditional still life genre by being more than an observer—she is an active participant.
The backdrop, intentionally muted, directs our gaze to the central composition. It’s as if the artist whispered, “Look closely; magic lies here.”
Eyes are absent, leaving room for interpretation. Instead, focus on her lips—the gateway to taste and expression.
Her earrings dangle like ripe fruit—tiny pomegranates or cherries. They sway with each movement, echoing the bowl’s bounty.
