About The Artwork

"The Music of Death" is my second work together with the "Hourglass", inspired by Gustav Klimt’s artworks and the passions of youth. Together they make a some kind of thematic diptych. As it is on the Hourglass, the subject of The Music of Death is the constant flow of the human life, a whirl of human passions joined by the central figure of the Goddess of Life with the Cup of life blood. She is the center of everything, the focus of human existence, surrounding and locking the human existence. But everything crowns Death, which is far from Man and Life but always beside them, always playing its solemn and mystical melody to mankind. They are inseparable - Life and Death, they are so utterlu unlike but are tightly bond into a mysterious and indestructible union and the mankind is only a puff in the flow of time. This artwork was painted in 2003 and since many years have passed the canvas has need to be restorated a little. I fixed the paint layer and fixed the canvas on the cardboard. Thanks to this, you can’t be afraid that the canvas can be torn or damaged. The picture itself is mounted in a box-type frame with the corners decorated with copper. All this provides a deliberate rudeness to the artwork and creates a common rigorous composition, while not distracting from the painting itself. Please note that the canvas is tightly fixed in the frame, because it is the part of the composition and the frame can’t be changed. All this increases the weight of painting but makes it very reliable for transportation.

Janina Grinevich was born in a family of artist and jeweller in 1978 in Ukraine, Krivoy Rog. Since 1986 lives in Latvia. Graduated as Bachelor of Arts in 2000, College of Art and Crafts in Liepaya, Latvia. Even at the college time the graphic art in style of the German masters of neo-romanticism became her mainstream and since 1995 she developed the own style, creating illustrations to literary works, legends, sagas and fairy tales. She also pays special attention to urbanistic landscapes, especially to her hometown views – the ancient Hanseatic city of Riga. In her opinion through laconicism and a monochromaticism of lines it is possible to develop completely dynamism of subject, without distracting attention to colourfulness of tinctures. Strict lines of architecture of the ancient cities, refined folds of attires and even the nature itself get in graphics their harmonious and perfect tone united by a common goal and idea. Her paintings are also laconic as graphic drawings and finds its full embodiment in still-life, genre style, portraits, sometimes supplemented by lines of symbolism. Metal and its surface, a play of light and shadow on metal objects, how metal recovers a still life, forces to sound each accompanying object in other tonality and creates the own symphony in the harmonious accord of a cold metal surface warmth of light on it became her passion in painting. In her works the artist boldly uses her wide knowledge of various architectural and interior styles, culture-historical heritage, fashion and crafts history, completing all with fantasy details.
