A "map of life".

The symbols inserted into Alvin's skull tell of the joys and sorrows of the life of a human being.

A heart represents love, passion, affection, the clover symbolizes divinity, the eyes tell the story of mystery, curiosity.

The crosses are the suffering, the stars are the successes, the flower is nature...

​

Alvin's work Calavera explores the Mexican skull symbolism, offering a unique perspective about life and death.

Through symbols such as hearts, clovers, locks, flowers and stars, the artist invites reflection on the transitory beauty of human existence.

The heart represents love and relationships, while the clover evokes luck and the lock the search for meaning.

Flowers symbolize the fleeting nature of life, while stars indicate destiny.

Although the smile on the skull may seem paradoxical, it represents acceptance of the natural cycle of life.

The work invites peace and serenity in accepting the uncertainty and challenges of life, reminding us of the intrinsic beauty in its natural flow.

With a profound and fascinating vision, "Calavera" offers a meditation on love,meaning, destiny and beauty in life and death.
