Fall Apart Skeleton - Art Print
About The Original Painting
Fall Apart, 2015
Acrylic on canvas
8” x 12”
A skeleton has lost her balance and her parts are scattered across the canvas. One arm remains upright, safely holding her heart aloft amidst the tumble of bones. This image is meant as a reminder that even when you feel like you have fallen apart you can still pick the pieces of yourself back up and come back to wholeness.
This painting is part of my series Beautiful Bodies which are acrylic canvas paintings of skeletons with hearts offering the meditation of “Be In Your Body and See with Your Heart”.
In this series skeletons symbolize our essential connection to nature and our ancestors and the heart is a reminder of our capacity for nurturing relationships. In my color palette black references grounded wisdom, white symbolizes interconnection, and red radiates passion.
They are part of the artistic tradition of “memento mori,” or macabre celebrations of life and death. You can find examples of this iconography from the earliest neolithic creations through to our modern art history.
In my compositions I primarily use layers of black, thin washes of color, a variety of dots and lines combined with minimal gestures of realism.
