Novembre5/2013 | Whimsical Cats on Tall Bicycles in Green, 2013

Larissa Mayorova  

Four mysterious black cats ride impossibly tall bicycles through a glowing green world, waving bright red flags beneath strings of twinkling white lights. Their elongated silhouettes, curious expressions, and delicate wheels create a whimsical procession that seems to belong somewhere between a dream and a fairy tale.

Painted in oil on canvas, this original artwork combines vivid emerald and lime greens with golden yellow, deep brown, and flashes of crimson. The textured background gives the scene a lively, atmospheric quality, while the cats' extraordinary bicycles add a delightful sense of absurdity.

The artwork belongs to 365 Days, a year-long project created between 2013 and 2014, during which the artist completed one small painting each day. Together, the 365 works formed a monumental installation measuring approximately 7 × 3 meters, exhibited in historic venues and châteaux in Haute-Savoie, France.

Each piece captures an intuitive fragment of a particular day, shaped by memory, imagination, and everyday experience. Identified by its creation date rather than an individual title, this artwork preserves its place within that larger journey while offering its own playful story.

With its imaginative characters and captivating colors, this original painting brings an unexpected touch of humor and fantasy to contemporary interiors.

Materials: Oil on canvas. Original artwork from the 365 Days project (2013–2014).
