This striking artwork commands attention with its unorthodox assemblage of natural and synthetic elements, creating a captivating juxtaposition that is both arresting and thought-provoking. At the core of the piece is a lifelike rendering of a bovine skull, meticulously crafted to display intricate details of bone texture and structure. The skull's weathered appearance hints at a history steeped in raw, untamed nature. Resting atop the skull is a flourishing burst of greenery, punctuated by vibrant yellow flowers and swaying feathers, symbolizing the resurgence of life amidst remnants of death. The vegetation is arranged in a seemingly chaotic yet deliberate fashion, suggesting the untamed and unstoppable spirit of nature reclaiming its space. Draped elegantly across the composition is a rich, deep blue fabric, adding a layer of regality and contrast to the otherwise organic elements. The fabric’s lustrous quality catches the light, providing a dynamic interplay of shadows and highlights that enhance the overall depth and dimension of the piece. Enveloped within a soft, mystical gradient of ambient light, possibly emanating from an unseen source, the artwork is imbued with an ethereal quality. The seamless blending of man-made texture with natural elements evokes a contemplative dialogue between life and death, decay and rebirth. Overall, this creation stands as a bold testament to the artist's skill in merging disparate materials into a cohesive and evocative whole. It asserts a poignant narrative about the cycles of nature and the persistent beauty that arises from the interplay of life and entropy.
This art piece has a real cow horns that were picked from special energetic place. Originally, it has decorative purposes but you can use it for rites as you wish. Some symbols scare people as something incomprehensible and unsolved inside themselves. But, in fact, these symbols are a reflection of thought forms that are born in the heads of people. That is, in other words, they are part of them. These object invites the viewers to explore themselves, to recognize their hidden sides closer.
