Dormouse is an original interpretation of a character from Alice in Wonderland. Within Konstantin Chaykin’s artistic universe, the literary image transforms into an independent horological archetype. Here, the language of mechanics becomes painting, and elements of watchmaking turn into symbols of human consciousness, time, and the philosophy of the universe.

Dormouse appears as a metaphor for the human soul, embodying the driving force of the artist’s imaginative world. Her figure, composed of elements of a watch mechanism, reflects a precision rooted in the most complex horological inventions.

All of the master’s paintings possess a particular value. Unlike watches, where an idea undergoes engineering realization and collective work, a painting captures the artist’s immediate reflection. For this reason, Dormouse, like each of Chaykin’s archetypes, is unique and cannot be reproduced.
