This is
a highly-detailed, vibrantly colored piece inspired by Mexico's
Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead. I combined the simplified
black outline of a skull with my usual funky abstract style
to create an artwork that is vivid, boisterous, and jubilant.
I like the paradoxical juxtaposition of the classic image of
death and mortality - the skull - portrayed amidst colorful
abstract forms and intricate designs, which express the fullness
and joy of life.
