A striking exploration of the delicate balance between mortality and rebirth, Life and Death by Lingua transforms a traditional memento mori into a vibrant celebration of existence. This intricate mixed-media piece merges a human skull-often symbolic of impermanence - with an explosion of blooming flowers and fluttering butterflies, representing renewal transformation, and the cyclical nature of life.
The composition bursts with vivid colors, seamlessly blending deep reds, bright oranges, and soft pastels, creating a mesmerizing contrast between decay and flourishing beauty. The dripping details at the base of the skull hint at the fleeting nature of time, while the butterflies in motion reinforce the idea of metamorphosis and transcendence.
A powerful statement on the coexistence of endings and new beginnings, Life and Death is a must-have for collectors who appreciate surrealism, symbolism, and the profound beauty found in contrast
