1. Title
"Only a shadow remains"
2. Description of the image
Only the cloak lies on the ground—folded, as if just thrown aside. A lone bat soars above it, vanishing in the moonlight. Everything else—silence. There is no scream, no anger. There is only absence. This is an end that doesn't hurt—because it means release.
3. Technology
Oil on canvas, with impasto in the texture of the cape, moss, and earth. The background of the moon and sky is treated with soft strokes and delicate lighting.
4. Style
Emotional minimalism with Gothic overtones. It's a scene without an actor—but with presence. A painting of silence and absence. It's an image of a trace, not a person.
5. Colors
Gray, silver, deep midnight, and a touch of red in the lining of the coat. The colors don't attract the eye—they lead it. It's the palette of memory.
6. Invoice
The texture is strong yet restrained. Every element of earth and material speaks of a touch that has just vanished. The bat almost merges with the air—like a fleeting soul.
7. Inspiration
-
Caspar David Friedrich – for a painting as an act of contemplation.
-
Andrei Tarkovsky – for silence as the ultimate sound.
-
Existentialism – for the importance of absence as a symbol of presence.
8. Message and interpretation
"Only a Shadow Remains" isn't death—it's disappearance. It's the moment when the body gives way to memory. It's images of the aftermath—and the prelude to something new. It's not mourning—it's a smile after departure.
9. Originality
A painting doesn't need a hero—because it's one itself. "Only a shadow remains" doesn't scream—but it lingers in your mind long after you look away. It's not a portrait—it's an echo.
