This artwork is an exciting mix of contrasts: a human skull, delicate flowers and a classic perculator come together against a powerful orange background. It immediately raises questions: is it a memento mori, a reminder of the transience of life? Or perhaps a playful ode to the daily rituals that give our lives meaning?
The grey flowers and leaves meander gracefully around the skull, as if bringing new life to what has disappeared. The perculator, symbolising the everyday pleasure of coffee, adds a surprisingly homely element to the whole. Everything comes together in a warm, mysterious atmosphere that both intrigues and inspires.
Perfect for lovers of symbolism, contrast and a touch of surrealism. Life, Death and Coffee is a real eye-catcher in any space: from a sleek modern interior to an artistic workplace. Let your guests dwell on the beauty of the moment - and perhaps feel like a good cup of coffee.
