Girl and Death 2016

"Girl and Death," created in 2016 by Vlada Ralko, is a striking watercolor that depicts a young girl interacting with a skeletal figure. The artist's expressive brushstrokes contribute to the unsettling nature of the artwork. The contrasting colors, such as the vibrant red against the cool blue and green hues, add to the visual tension of the scene. This piece explores themes of mortality and the complex relationship between life and death.
