Empire Art Direct "Calavera" Mixed Media Hand Painted Iron Wall Sculpture by Primo - BBYTEN69Y

The calavera is a depiction of the human skull, evocative of Mexican folklore and culture. Often the calavera is portrayed, ironically, with flowers and bright colours. This is true of Primo’s iron wall sculpture, which adds decorative gems to the skull, drawing a contrast between the morbid and fanciful. The raised iron creates depths of black and red in the hollow eyes, while a strange shape plays across the forehead, seeming like a window into the unknowable thoughts of the dead.
