A Brother Lost - Memento Mori by Nambroth

A Brother Lost - Memento Mori

Nambroth

remember that you will die...

Hibbary organized a showing themed around Memento Mori, and this is my contribution.

We found this skull in our woods in the spring; the air was still crisp enough to hold the foggy bite of one's breath. What stories could it tell?
I painted it in the same location as it was found originally. The living deer is my own addition, and I hope to leave the meaning open to the viewer's interpretation.

Acrylic on Illustration board, 8" x 10".

    I really love this piece. I love how the deer's face is outside of the frame, making the live animal seem as inaccessible as the deceases one. The detail work on the moss is amazing, and I just love the concept as a whole.
