Skulls have been used as good luck charms in various cultures in the past as they are believed to ward off illness and guard against evil spirits. ... So why is the skull so popular in fashion? Most likely because of its universal appeal and versatile meaning. What it signifies and when you think about the symbolism of the skull it does pose a query. But the skull does represent a single thing; it conveys different meanings for eras, many cultures and beliefs. Skulls are associated with mortality and death, and that's the reason why they feature in horror movies. All of us have an inherent fear of the unknown and death, and it might explain why some people may see them offensive, as skulls are a reminder of that. We're all familiar with the Jolly Roger flag, used by pirates to strike fear into others' hearts.

I’m Canadian abstractionist, an artist synesthetes*, Abstract Expressionist. Emotions are very important to me. When you are in art all your life is at this particular moment. It’s like improvisation in music. You need explain all life in one moment, in one phrase, in one white square… Emotion is a relationship with other people. My art is a relationship with others too. I like challenge, I like to make something new every day, on the end I like to win. And more important I like to win Every day. For me to finish my canvas is like red line for the runner or reaching the peak of a mountain for a climber, I will die for this. I love colours, I love paint, and I love canvas, white canvas. I like even prepare canvas for painting, I just love to be an artist. When I’m painting I feel like a runner, marathon 42 km. runner dying for red line, dying to reach the finish line. I feel like the climber whose single goal driving him all the time is to reach the peak of the mountain. I want to succeed. I love to win. I feel myself so liberated when create art. First, because I can produce something that is influence on human’s mood or state of mind, and second, because I can escape this reality. And I like this feeling. My paintings have been sold for years to offices, shops and private residences in Canada, Australia, USA, Europe etc. Up until now in 18 countries. I am continuously developing my style of painting, keeping it interesting for you to come back for another visit. Don’t hesitate to contact me, I will be happy to answer all your questions. Thank you for your interest hope you like it! synesthetes* - Synesthesia in art has referred to a wide variety of Atits experiments that have explored the co-operation of the senses e.g. seeing and hearing; the word synesthesia is from the Ancient Greek, "together," and Aisthēsis, "sensation".
