Life and Death is a surreal and emotionally charged painting rendered in haunting shades of violet. At its center, a hollow skull emerges from a fractured, stone-like background, its mouth agape, holding a small, delicate bird ignited in a soft blue flame. The contrast between the rigid permanence of death and the fleeting, fragile symbol of life evokes a visceral tension. Layers of dark ink splatters and abstract forms reinforce the chaos and beauty of existence. This piece speaks to the eternal cycle, the flame of life flickering even within the jaws of mortality. Bold, poetic, and unforgettable.
