You all know Vrubel's "The Seated Demon".
Once, I had to pick up oil paints to free his "little sister" from the hell of all lipstick colors. Now I look at them and imagine how he watches her flight, approving and supporting.

Do you have a demon behind your back?

Right: "The Seated Demon", Vrubel, 1890, print on canvas, acrylic varnish, copy.

I hadn't heard of Vrubel before, but this image made me want to know more, so I did a little research and found this other amazing painting he did of an abalone and goddesses: "Pearl Oyster."

I'm very glad you met Vrubel. He wrote about this: "I was not going to write "sea princesses" in my "Pearl". I wanted to convey the picture with all the reality of which the game of the Pearl sink is laid, and only after I made several drawings of coal and pencil, saw these princesses when I began writing paints.
