Love to a coffin (Polyptych)
A haunting and visceral polyptych by Mykola Matsenko, rendered in bold acrylics and stark marker lines on canvas, explores the paradox of devotion intertwined with mortality. The multi-panel composition fragments and repeats imagery to evoke a ritualistic, almost obsessive attachment to the finality of death. Matsenko's raw, gestural technique amplifies the tension between tenderness and darkness, creating an unsettling meditation on love's most extreme surrender.
