A meditation on the contrast between fragility and endurance, Skull and Daisies invites viewers to reflect on the transient nature of life. The stark, monochromatic skull—rendered with delicate precision—emerges from a gentle field of white daisies, symbols of innocence, simplicity, and quiet resilience.
Surrounding the skull, the daisies appear to reclaim space, their stems weaving upward in quiet defiance of the darkness. A band of hand-applied gold leaf anchors the composition, lending a luminous, sacred quality that elevates the symbolism of life, death, and renewal.
Part of a series exploring vanitas themes with a contemporary touch, this piece blends classical still-life influence with modern minimalism. A bold, contemplative work that commands attention—perfect for collectors of dark romantic or symbolist art.
