Vanitas Revisited considers the beauty and fragile transience of life and memories. Mirroring the gentle shadow and ethereal inevitability of decline, and set against distant reflections of death, these floral images capture the temporal nature of life. Artist Elaine Batton’s approach is heavily influenced by the Dutch Masters and 17th century Dutch still life paintings. The result is a collection that explores and celebrates the soul and wonder in being alive.
