My d'ART

MAGDALENA ZAJAC   Thank you for visiting my virtual gallery. It offers you a glimpse of my work as an artist. My overall concern is to play with images and to divert thus different modes of representation from the strait and narrow, through minor subversive operations inspired by major questions of modern art. www.fine-art.com/Magdalena_Zajac/149021 Home | Bio | Artist's Forum | Community | Contact

This is a "Memento Mori", but a small, red fish (quite alive) triumphs on the seabed. Life never dies...

The picture is pleasing to the eye, and the shading is done relatively well. Personally I would try to darken the edge of the skull closest to the fish since it seems to blend in with the ocean a bit.
