Part of the artist’s ‘Skull’ collection, this striking memento mori – a reminder of death – is part of the Creation and Decay series. Inspired by the palettes of Henri Matisse, bright colors celebrate the precious existential joy that even painful emotions allow us to feel.
The Sampaguita flower from the Philippines, a recurring motif, traces back to the artist’s country of birth. The Sampaguita is a symbol of purity and simplicity, strength and humility.
Gold Skull is painted in a language unmistakably from the dreamy and unconventional imagination of Maggie José.
