Still Life Red Dragon is a lenticular composition that captivates and blends classical still life elements with a touch of mysticism and opulence. The skull, with golden details and red gemstone, takes the center stage, resting on a stack of books- evoking a sense of knowledge and mortality. Around it, rich textures of pomegranates, flowers and a dragon motif that creates a dark, moody atmosphere while the soft glow of a hanging lantern and the subtle presence of butterflies hint at the contrast between life and death, beauty and decay. The overall effect is one of quiet intensity, where every object feels carefully placed to tell its own part of the story.
