The Fallen Maiden

  • Artist  Siris Hill
  • Location British
  • Date 2019
  • Dimensions 31-1/2 x 41 x 45 in.

Siris Hill’s portraiture explores the effects psychological conditions have on an individual, reflecting his own realities of living with mental illness while investigating the social obstructions and loss of identity it creates. Unable to work around the fumes of oil paint, he uses digital painting techniques to demonstrate a mastery of techniques of 17th-century artists. For Moniker, Hill has brought his digital works to life with 3D light boxes.

  • Artist Nick Fedaeff
  • Location Russian
  • Date 2019
  • Dimensions 61x91 cm
  • Sale price  $6,000

Nick Fedaeff’s latest collection introduces a new, exciting direction in his work, in which he experiments with two radically different styles at once—Neo Cubism and Renaissance. While his previous work was often influenced by the old masters, Neo Cubism is a fresh form of expression for him. Fedaeff combines geometric, patterned images with detailed Renaissance-style frameworks. The merging of these varied styles creates connections where typically there would be distance.
