Description Ars Moriendi, 2007. Oil and latex enamel on canvas; 48" x 80"

starting back with representational images, though i haven't turned my back on abstraction just yet 'Ars Moriendi' = 'the art of dying' - a 15th century manual on how to die properly. it could also be considered a vanitas painting...

Amazing work! Amazing title! It's almost disturbing to include a symbol of death among images of serenity and beauty, but at the same time, it fits perfectly with the "peaceful" atmosphere...
I would love to see this "live"...
