Vita found the inspiration for the project in Hawaii, where she lived for six months. Finding an ornamental structure in athletes’ different poses became for the artist a means to compare them to organic intersections of Art Nouveau. Vita overpaints her photographs with watercolors in a lilac and blue palette reminiscent of the main Russian "Art Nouveau" artist Mikhail Vrubel. Themes that recall the demimonde beloved by Impressionists also develop through a series of sculptures. Besides, Vita serves also as a museum curator of her own works, letting the audience experience preparatory background of the show – drafts and sketches in special showcases. Thus the image of Belated Impressionist becomes a single conceptual and expository unit.
