Housewife by Alexander Shibniov: A Timeless Blend of Figurative Art and Medieval Symbolism
This captivating work exemplifies a figurative style with medieval and symbolist influences, portraying the serene profile of a woman in a minimalist yet intricate composition.

Crafted using the ancient tempera technique—mixing natural pigments with egg yolk—this method lends the piece a unique texture and vividness. Shibniov's mastery in harmonizing delicate lines with symbolic imagery, such as the clock and teapot, conveys themes of time and the beauty of life's simplicity. "Housewife" creates a peaceful, timeless atmosphere, making it an excellent choice for intimate spaces like study rooms, reading nooks, or an art collector’s gallery.
Alexander Shibniov’s family legacy in fine arts shines through his work, embodying his philosophy of spiritual harmony between humanity and its surroundings.
