About the Item

This minimalistic still life painting captures the quiet anticipation of Advent through the gentle glow of a single burning candle on an Advent wreath. The evergreen wreath, adorned with some berries, evokes a sense of tradition and warmth. Soft shadows flicker across the background, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere. The lone flame symbolizes the beginning of the Advent season—a moment of reflection, hope, and the promise of light in the midst of winter darkness. Marina Skepner lives and works in Bonn, Germany. She was born in Moscow, studied at Surikov State Art Institute in Moscow and the Montenegrin Art Academy, majoring in painting. She worked at the Dukley Art Residence by European Art Community and Dukley Summer School in Montenegro in 2015 and 2016.
