Gate to the Underworld (Bull): Part I

It all started as a simple dichotomy between life and death, hard and soft, light and heavy.

Quickly, themes developed by themselves.

Certain imagery began to form around a simple skull. Specific flowers, specific animals. A story unfolded and all I had to do was sit back and read it aloud through paint.

it was simple life and death, but became much more. It became a gateway to the underworld. Snakes, shrikes, ribbons, pomegranates. Metaphors happened, symbols made themselves known.
