This captivating oil painting evokes a haunting atmosphere with its depiction of a silhouette, seemingly dusted or lifeless, against a backdrop of dark, almost black hues. The artist skilfully employs elements of brightness and intricate forms that coalesce to shape a human figure, blurring the line between abstraction and representation. The artwork emanates a profound emotional charge, evoking a sense of introspection and contemplation.
In this modern interpretation of a classic Biblical subject, Zakhar explores the poignant theme of mortality. Departing from the traditional portrayal of the sorrowful Virgin Mary mourning over the body of the deceased Christ, the artist employs alternative artistic means to convey feelings of sadness and grief. Through a masterful composition, a thoughtfully chosen palette of colours, and the semi-abstract form reminiscent of a lifeless body, Zakhar invites viewers to reflect upon the fragility and transient nature of life.
