- Description provided by artist:
- "This work was commissioned by a perfume collector who requested a piece in my signature style, but with an emphasis on aroma. I recalled seeing Putin's signature perfume online, created in Russia. Inspired by this, I created a piece that exposes the thirst for power through political propaganda's creation of a totalitarian, impersonal society, reminiscent of the faceless soldiers in Alexander Volkov's Oorfene Deuce or the dystopian characters of Zamyatin and Orwell.
- The painting depicted Putin without a military helmet, surrounded by identical figures. The collector declined the work, and it remained in my workshop for four years. With the onset of the full-scale war, the piece's significance grew. The addition of military paraphernalia in 2022 further emphasized my interpretation of the "Aroma of Power," portraying the bloody dictator of our time."
