Original artwork description:

Image is 16 x 21" paper is 19 x 24".
The fragility of life and the mystery of existence in metaphysical meditation. The vivid bird in oil doesn't integrate with the charcoal skull, they exist on separate planes as if the bird were collage on instead of painted. Symbolizing the relic of human experience contrasting the color in the life of the natural world.
Requires framing to be properly displayed.

Materials used:

charcoal and oil on paper
