Description: It is known that the artist Amadeo Modigliani met the Russian poetess Anna Akhmatova in Paris at the age of 25. Akhmatova was twenty at the time. The portraits do not reflect age, but rather are symbolic, as both figures later became great pillars of the Silver Age. Modigliani lived a short life and received worldwide recognition immediately after his death, while Akhmatova lived quite a long time and was already considered a literary cult figure during her lifetime. Their eternal glory is symbolized by the faces of Egyptian statues in the background, as well as their fascination with ancient Egyptian culture. These characters are tragic, dark, and decadent, and therefore continue to inspire mystics and lovers of dark aesthetics.
Description: The loneliness of the moon, which gazes at its reflection forever, mysterious and misunderstood. The depths of the sea and the heights of the sky are too complex and inaccessible to fussy creatures. The movement of the planets and cosmic music, the rising of the moon and sun—these are majestic concepts and spectacles, free and rarely observed, although they are the most beautiful. Perhaps because many love to sleep, and they dream of work, quarrels and copulations with their own kind, earnings, beautiful clothes and bodies, a new car and rivalry—all this vanity, akin to the movement of worms in a garbage dump.
