A Carcass
Original oil painting on canvas
30" x 24" / 76 cm x 61 cm, 2023
This oil painting is a visual interpretation of Charles Baudelaire’s poem "A Carcass", capturing the stark contrast between beauty and decay. A serene, sunlit landscape sets the stage for the grotesque reality of death—a horse in the peak of decomposition, its bloated form teeming with new life. Inspired by Baudelaire’s fascination with transformation, this painting of a dead horse highlights the absurdity of death’s indifference. Nature does not mourn; it simply continues. The vibrant grass thrives, flies swarm, and the cycle of life moves forward. A darkly poetic reflection on mortality, impermanence, and the unsettling harmony between ruin and renewal.
