This artwork is a bold and celebratory exploration of life, memory, and identity through the iconic symbolism of sugar skulls. Inspired by the vibrancy of Día de los Muertos traditions, each skull radiates its own mood and personality brought to life with expressive bursts of color, delicate floral motifs, and lace-like patterns against a richly textured black background. Arranged in a structured grid, the repetition feels both ceremonial and intimate, as if each figure holds a unique story or spirit within it.
“Viva la Vida” is a tribute to the beauty found in both joy and mortality. It honors those who came before us while affirming the energy and individuality of the present moment. The piece invites viewers to reflect, celebrate, and remember with color, with love, and without fear.
