"Tea and Impermanence" brings together a unique blend of life, death and the everyday. In this artwork, you see a skull surrounded by lush leaves and orange flowers, next to a steaming teapot. The warm orange tones in the background glow like a setting sun, evoking a sense of mystery and nostalgia. The contrasts in this work - between the hard, pale skull and the vibrant flowers - give the image an intriguing tension, while the teapot adds an unexpected domestic element. It is as if life, with all its daily rituals, finds a moment of rest in the transience of existence.
The inspiration for this work comes from the interplay of daily routines and deeper philosophical thoughts. As ordinary as a cup of tea can be, it can remind us of the fragility and beauty of life. This artwork expresses that perfectly - turning something mundane into something sublime.
Perfect for an interior that dares to play with contrasts and symbolism. Hang it up and let visitors marvel at the beauty of impermanence.
