Death Of Paradise

"I started to experiment with oil painting at the end of lockdown, around two years ago. With this painting I wanted to try out my skills on a larger surface and also painting a variety of textures. The original is 80x80cm on stretched canvas. I reach back to tattooing for my inspiration and using themes and references from the culture that means a lot to me. I want the viewer to experience the unusual balance of a dead skull and the living nature around it."
