Garden of Temptation
Сад спокуси
A still life from Marchuk's mature pliontanizm period, built from dense threads of colour. In June 2022 it sold for USD 120,000 at a charity auction in Kyiv with the proceeds going to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, placing it fifth in Lokalna Istoriia's ranking of the most expensive paintings by Ukrainian artists.
