Treasured Past States Alexei: “With this painting, I have indulged myself in the nostalgia of Paris. In the background is a Paris cityscape, as seen through my window. In the foreground is a bust of the ageless Egyptian queen Nefertiti, atop a stack of ancient books. This timeless symbol of beauty is almost brought back to life in the soft light of a single candle. A plain antique vase holds dried twigs. Other aging artifacts include family pictures and a stack of tattered letters. These are the treasured roots of our past. Beauty and art are immortal and will be with us always, as our legacy to future generations.” |
