Decembre3/2013 | Golden Cat and Bird Daily Artwork, 2013

Larissa Mayorova  

A luminous cat and flying bird emerge from a warm golden field. The pale feline figure sits against layered ochre, bronze, brown, and black, surrounded by decorative white marks, small red accents, and loose gestural details. A dark green bird moves across the upper part of the composition, bringing energy and a playful sense of interaction.

The work is part of the 365 Days Project, 2013–2014, a year-long project in which the artist created one small artwork every day. Together, all 365 works formed a monumental installation measuring approximately 7 × 3 meters, later exhibited in several historic venues and châteaux in Haute-Savoie, France.

Each work represents a single day shaped by color, memory, imagination, and the rhythm of everyday life. Rather than receiving individual descriptive titles, the pieces were identified only by their dates, preserving their original place within the complete annual sequence.

Offered independently from the original installation, this work retains its connection to the larger project while functioning as an intimate artwork in its own right. Its compact scale, warm colors, and whimsical animal imagery make it particularly suitable for a gallery wall or as a distinctive gift for a collector interested in figurative art and daily artistic practice.

Materials: Oil on canvas.

Shipping / Display: Ready to hang. The artwork is shipped in a protective box.

Colors & Shades

Golden ochre, antique gold, warm amber, burnt sienna, rust brown, chestnut brown, deep umber, charcoal black, dark olive green, forest green, ivory, warm white, muted cream, bright red, scarlet red.

Its compact format and warm palette make the artwork suitable for a living room, bedroom, study, reading corner, hallway, creative studio, or gallery wall. It can work especially well alongside other small-format works, where its golden surface and dark graphic accents can create a strong visual pause. It also suits interiors with natural wood, warm neutrals, vintage elements, or eclectic contemporary decor.
