Thanatos 2020

Camilla d'Errico's "Thanatos" (2020) is a striking painting that juxtaposes a human skull with vibrant butterflies and swirling rainbow colors. The skull, rendered in realistic detail, is partially covered by a colorful, abstract form that resembles a melting wave. The butterflies, with their delicate wings, contrast with the skull's starkness, suggesting a delicate balance between life and death, beauty and decay. This piece showcases d'Errico's signature style, combining elements of realism and surrealism to explore themes of mortality, transformation, and the cyclical nature of existence.
