Watchmaker, 2025 _{A Surrealism, Tempera on Wood, Painting}

Crafted with tempera on wood, this 20 x 20 cm artwork captures a serene profile of a figure surrounded by symbols of time, including clocks and intricate mechanisms, set against a vivid red background. The precision and purity of the composition create a meditative ambiance, drawing the viewer into a moment of eternal contemplation.

Shibniov employs the ancient tempera technique, blending natural pigments with egg yolk on a wooden base, a process that imbues the artwork with a luminous quality. The rich palette of red, black, and gold accentuates the surreal yet poetic narrative, evoking feelings of nostalgia and serenity.

Through this piece, Shibniov explores the interplay between man and time, presenting a metaphorical journey into the essence of life's simplicity and beauty. The absence of a conventional "hero" enhances the universality of its message, offering a timeless connection with its audience.

This painting is a perfect addition to spaces like study rooms, galleries, or personal collections, where its poetic atmosphere can inspire reflection and harmony.
