Here, flowers and skeletal forms cease to be opposites of life and death. They merge into a single biomorphic relief, where decay becomes an extension of growth. The work speaks to the fragility of the body and memory: even as it fades away, the form leaves a trace of its existence in a soft, almost ghostly landscape. Acrylic, oil pastel on canvas, 40*50 cm (15,7''*19,7'') Signed on the front and back by the artist. Stretched and ready to hang. A certificate of Authenticity signed and dated by the artist will be included in the package.
Why collect this work?
Pale flower heads and branching forms rise from a dark lower field, but their outlines repeatedly fragment. The painting makes flowering and decomposition difficult to separate, treating disappearance as a change of form rather than a clean ending.
- Viaznikova states that her practice explores transitional states in which forms retain traces of what they were. Here, that concern clarifies the slippage between petals, leaves, ribs, and shadow without fixing one final reading.
- In the photograph, three yellow-centred blooms provide intermittent points of recognition. Around them, blue-edged stems and black linear passages overlap, so the garden appears to assemble and dissolve at once.
- The catalogue documents acrylic on canvas, while its description also names oil pastel. These media permit broad veils alongside sharper, drawn marks, supporting the visible tension between atmospheric recession and insistent contour.
- At 40 by 50 centimetres, the work concentrates a broad theme into a compact field: botanical identification gradually gives way to bodily and skeletal associations. Its significance lies in sustaining that unresolved threshold.

In my practice, I create spaces of silence and slowed perception - spaces in which familiar reality temporarily becomes less stable.
