What do they tell us? Or is it better to say that we speak with the help of objects with which we surround ourselves or which we use?
Obviously, the whole series of this works is based on the traditions of the Dutch still life of the XVI – XVII centuries.
“The Dutch still life of the XVI – XVII centuries is a kind of intellectual game in which the viewer was asked to unravel certain signs.” (Anastasia Egorova, arzamas academy)
John Calvin taught that everyday things have a hidden meaning, and behind every image there must be a moral lesson. The objects depicted in the still life are ambiguous: they were endowed with instructive, religious or other overtones. For example, oysters were considered an erotic symbol, and it was obvious to contemporaries: oysters supposedly stimulated sexual potency, and Venus, the goddess of love, was born from a shell. On the one hand, the oysters hinted at worldly temptations, on the other hand, the open shell signified a soul ready to leave the body, that is, promised salvation. There were no strict rules on how to read a still life, of course, and the viewer guessed on the canvas exactly those characters that he wanted to see. In addition, we must not forget that each object was part of the composition and could be read in different ways - depending on the context and the general message of the still life.
P.S. All the subjects in the artwork are depicted in original proportions with love and respect for specific objects and their authors.
