A hauntingly beautiful reflection on the cycle of life and death, Skull and Violets blends classical still-life symbolism with contemporary minimalism. The stark white skull at the center evokes mortality, while the delicate ring of soft violet daisies suggests fleeting beauty and the persistence of life.
Set against a rich black background, the composition is grounded by a band of real gold leaf—symbolizing both the preciousness of life and the inevitability of its passage. The metallic sheen contrasts gently with the organic softness of the flowers, creating a balance between elegance and decay.
This original oil painting is a striking statement piece—perfect for collectors drawn to vanitas themes, modern gothic aesthetics, or symbolic artwork that invites introspection.
