Andy Warhol with Skull

Oil on canvas. I did it inspired by the photo of Andy Warhol with a skull. “Memento Mori” is a Latin phrase translating to “remember you must die”, which developed with the growth of Christianity, a reminder to live and enjoy life’s abundance while living your best life. “Memento Mori” is based on the traditional concept of the Vanitas that has existed in the art for centuries. Its purpose: a reminder that our earthly pleasures and possessions are temporary.
