Love After Death

 Love After Death – Original Skull & Rose Painting | Best in Show, City of Frisco

Love After Death is a powerful original fine art painting that explores the enduring nature of love beyond loss, time, and physical existence. Rather than symbolizing an ending, this work redefines the skull as a keeper of memory—holding onto love with quiet defiance and emotional depth.

At its core, this painting reflects the idea that love does not disappear after death; it evolves, leaves marks, and continues to shape us. The presence of roses speaks to passion, devotion, and remembrance, while subtle hints of sacrifice remind us that love often carries both beauty and pain. This artwork invites reflection on grief, resilience, and the lasting imprint of human connection.

Recognized for its emotional impact and artistic execution, Love After Death was one of two paintings by the artist to receive Best in Show at Momento Mori, an exhibition conducted by the City of Frisco in 2023. This honor highlights the work’s ability to resonate deeply with viewers while maintaining strong visual presence.

Painted on a 14 x 14 inch gallery-wrapped canvas, this original skull and rose artwork is wired and ready to hang. It is sealed with a professional-grade gloss varnish with UV protection, ensuring long-term color vibrancy and preservation. The finished edges allow the piece to be displayed with or without a frame, making it suitable for both modern and traditional spaces.

This piece is more than visual impact—it is a conversation about what we choose to hold onto, even when everything else has faded.
