About this artwork
This artwork is printed on 310 gr Museum Natural Smooth paper, numbered and signed by the artist. Inspired by his travels to Mexico, the artist reinterprets the theme of vanity in a contemporary way, subtly mixing aesthetics. The skull immediately captures the eye with its enigmatic expression, contrasting with traditional macabre imagery.

orange flowers spring from its summit, evoking rebirth and the infinite cycle of life and death. This work, both vibrant and contemplative, brilliantly celebrates the fusion between the fragility of existence and the timeless beauty of art.
