Owl (skull) (2022) Original Oil Painting by Anna Shabalova

In this creation, I melded life's stark contrasts—its fragility and resilience. The oil medium allowed me to capture the surreal balance between life and death. By weaving realism with symbolism, I portrayed a skull, at once a stark memento mori, cradling the delicate dandelion—a symbol of hope and renewal. It's a piece to stir contemplation, to add a profound and introspective energy to any space.
