Fire and Bone

This painting presents a striking and complex image of a young woman with fiery hair that explodes around her head like flames, signifying the fire sign Aries' passionate nature.  The juxtaposition of the vibrant, passionate woman holding skeletal remains creates a powerful visual paradox.  The intense beauty and fleeting nature of life against the inevitable reality of death. The painting invites the viewer to contemplate the meaning of life and death, perhaps even consider their own mortality and how they wish to live in the face of it.
