Artist Statement

In The Watch, I explore the quiet power of guardianship.
The black cat becomes a symbol of protection — not loud, not visible, but absolute.
This work is a tribute to those who protect culture, memory, and silence.
Nekol

Black cat oil painting The Watch is an original 60×60 cm oil on canvas artwork inspired by the legendary guardian cats of the State Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg.

Black Cat Oil Painting as a Symbol of ProtectionBlack cat oil painting

The Watch presents a silent guardian standing watch over cultural memory and timeless values.
The central black silhouette contrasts with a vibrant, mosaic-like background inspired by museum interiors, ancient ornamentation, and the visual rhythm of history itself.
Since the 18th century, Hermitage cats have served as protectors of world art treasures. This black cat oil painting transforms that historical fact into a symbol of vigilance, loyalty, and quiet power.
Painted in oil on canvas, the work combines contemporary decorative aesthetics with deep symbolic meaning.
This black cat oil painting is ideal for collectors seeking artwork with narrative depth, cultural references, and strong visual identity.
The composition speaks of silence, duty, and guardianship — values that remain relevant across centuries.
Story
Inspired by the official Hermitage cats, introduced during the reign of Catherine the Great, The Watch reflects the unseen guardians of culture.
The painting is dedicated to the idea that true protection is silent, constant, and timeless.
Who would like This Artwork
Collectors of symbolic art, lovers of museum history, admirers of cats as spiritual guardians, those seeking meaningful statement pieces
