In this striking drawing by Taylor Tom Conley, the figure of a woman adorned with vibrant red and yellow flowers in her hair contrasts against the dark and muted background. Her face, painted as a traditional “calavera” (skull) in the style of Día de los Muertos, conveys both beauty and mortality. The woman holds a bouquet of pink tulips tied with a red ribbon, symbolizing life, remembrance, and the cyclical nature of existence. The delicate blending of colors on the flowers contrasts with the sharpness of the skull, making this piece a poignant celebration of life and death intertwined. The soft shading and precise detailing capture a haunting yet graceful portrayal of this iconic symbol, blending elegance and reverence.
