About this artwork

The painting *Field of Death* portrays a surreal landscape where countless skulls emerge from dark, stem-like structures, resembling a vast field of lifeless flowers. The muted tones of blue and grey create a sombre atmosphere, while the gradual fading of detail into the horizon evokes an overwhelming sense of scale and desolation. The juxtaposition of organic growth with symbols of mortality highlights themes of death, decay, and the cyclical nature of life. The horizon, shrouded in a dim light, hints at the tension between despair and the faintest glimmer of hope.

*Field of Death*

A field of skulls, where flowers should bloom,
Silent sentinels in the gathering gloom.
Stems of shadow, roots of despair,
A lifeless garden, heavy with air.

Each fragile bloom, a story untold,
Echoes of lives in the earth grown cold.
Rows upon rows, they stretch to the sky,
A whispering chorus, asking why.

The horizon fades in a somber haze,
Time stands still in death's quiet gaze.
Yet in this expanse of sorrow and strife,
Lingers the question: where once was life?
