These poetic works were largely influenced by 16th-century Dutch still lifes, particularly those by the artist Jan Mostaert (1475-1555). Chemiakine found in them, in his own words, "the warm distortion, the poetry of simple everyday objects, the dignity of texture, the refined palette of silver-gray colors".
