Description:

This attractive box was created by the talented Oleg Yastrebov of Fedoskino. His works are always easily recognizable as this artist has a peculiar painting style notable for rich ornamentality, and tendency to create unusual scenes born in his creative mind.
This box continues Yastrebov's series of works dedicated to the world of elves that live on the unknown planet surrounded with boundless space. Here we can see the elves-musicians. One of them sits on the ground and plays the trumpet, while two others fly in the air playing the violin and the cello. A wonderful tune sounds but for a while the musicians stop playing and a deep silence fills the planet.
The artist uses the black lacquered background for depiction of the space that surrounds the planet, while shimmer of faraway stars is achieved with the help of multicolored spangles. Silver paint is used to draw the big planet shining in the background, as well as the elves' wings. Gold paint sparkles through the trumpet, the elves' costumes and the ground. Very beautiful scene!
The box is constructed from paper-mache. Black lacquer is used to paint the exterior of the box while red lacquer completes the interior of the work. A hinge is fastened to the left of the composition, and the box rests on a flat bottom. The work is signed, titled ("Silence") and dated (2006) by the artist.
