Relictum 

Konstantin Korobov, born in 1985, created “Relictum,” an immersive landscape with elements of surrealism. This beguiling painting invites us into a dense forest where moss-covered trees intertwine with colossal, weathered fragments of what appear to be human features. An eye, an ear, hands emerging from the forest floor, create a disorienting yet strangely intimate experience. Korobov's work evokes a sense of deep time, where nature reclaims the remnants of civilization. It speaks to the transient nature of human existence, set against the enduring presence of the natural world. The single red bird perched atop a finger suggests hope and resilience amidst decay. With this tableau, Korobov prompts us to contemplate our place within the vastness of time and the delicate balance between humanity and nature.
