Ekaterina Deryugina’s work begins with quiet observation. Her images are often simple at first glance, but that simplicity is where their emotional intelligence sits. A table, a dog, a plate of seafood, a glass of wine: ordinary elements become charged through restraint.
Notre Arte’s collaboration with the Madrid-based artist presents Zamburiñas, a limited edition print that captures a moment of stillness with humour, warmth and subtle psychological tension.
Everyday scenes, carefully held
Deryugina’s work often explores the relationship between people, animals and their surroundings. Rather than over-explaining a scene, she allows the smallest gestures to carry meaning.
In Zamburiñas, a dachshund sits at a table, side-eyeing a plate of seafood and a glass of white wine. The composition is restrained, but the emotional possibilities are open. It can be read as longing, companionship, humour or a moment of unspoken understanding.
Animals as observers
Dogs hold a particular place in Deryugina’s visual language. They are not treated as decoration or sentimental subjects. Instead, they become observers: present, alert, quietly expressive.
This gives the work its charm without making it overly sweet. The dog in Zamburiñas seems to understand more than it says, creating a subtle exchange between subject and viewer.
A personal connection to Spain
Zamburiñas is shaped by Deryugina’s personal connection to Spain. The title refers to small scallops associated with Spanish coastal cooking, and the scene carries the atmosphere of a shared table, a pause and a quiet moment of appetite or anticipation.
The work is not nostalgic in a heavy way. It is lighter than that, but still specific. It finds meaning in a scene that could easily pass unnoticed.
Minimal form, emotional depth
Deryugina’s restrained forms and carefully chosen colours give the work an accessible elegance. The image feels easy on the eye, but it is not empty. It uses simplicity to leave space for interpretation.
This is part of what makes the print compelling for collectors. It does not demand attention loudly. It stays because of its quietness.
