Vanitas

2024, 45” x 27”, oil paint on panel. $2,500.

This piece is a detailed imitation of the Dutch still life “Vanitas” memento mori pieces done around the 17th century. The elements are referenced directly from paintings of this era, creating a new composition that remains true to the original style. The edges of the panel are cut around the objects in the piece, creating an oval with protruding parts.
