Catacombs - Acrylic on Canvas (20x24)
The painting portrays a mystical blue cat skull, its hollow cheeks and forehead adorned with dull jewels, muted yet heavy with symbolic weight. The jewels, lacking luster, serve as poignant reminders of how beauty fades yet remains—an echo of past vitality that still holds meaning even as its brilliance dims. The tall, exaggerated ears reach upward like antennas tuned to secrets lost in the ether, symbolizing a yearning for understanding, even in the quiet of decay.
The eyes, round pink jewels, are not vibrant but subdued, inviting the viewer to question the nature of perception. They suggest introspection, as if the skull is gazing inward rather than outward, searching for answers within the void.
The hot pink background, unapologetically vibrant and blemished, contrasts sharply with the muted adornments of the skull. It radiates defiance, highlighting the tension between boldness and resignation, life and afterlife. The skull, resting against this vivid field, becomes a relic of former grandeur—a reminder that even the most dazzling forms return to stillness.
The painting's layered texture, achieved through acrylic paint, ink, and paint markers over a high-gloss surface, underscores the complexity of its story. The dull jewels emerge through the rich strata like whispers from the past, their lack of sheen grounding the piece in quiet authenticity. The high gloss finish creates a sense of preservation, sealing the layers of memory, decay, and fleeting grandeur as a moment frozen in time.
This artwork is a meditation on impermanence. The dull jewels remind us that while life may lose its sparkle, its essence endures, layered in memory and meaning, shining subtly through the cracks of time. The cat skull, with its elongated ears and subdued adornments, asks us to listen not to what is loud and bright, but to what lingers quietly, persistently, beneath the surface.
