Acherontia Mortem

50X50 cm | Acrylic on Canvas | 2024

Starting with my fascination with the beauty of moths, particularly in this case the species "Acherontia atropos", known for the skull-like pattern on its back. The central idea came from imagining this moth perched on a skull, surrounded by other skulls, creating a powerful contrast between life and death. This contrast reflects my perception that death, something so natural, has such a negative view in society.
