Danse Macaber - Tribal Fusion - gothic fairy Print

"Danse Macaber : Tribal Fusion!" She is the first in my new series called "Danse Macaber". Danse Macaber (literally, Dance of Death) - was a very common theme for many late Medieval allegorical paintings. The allegory being of course that the dance of death is inevitable and unites us all. How macaber! I have decided to create a more literal and visual take on the centuries-old tradition - combining skeletal imagery with some of my favorite dance imagery! I hope to touch on many forms of dance in subsequent pieces. This first painting celebrates Tribal Fusion - a contemporary vein of bellydance that I love. I've shown the beautiful dancing maiden surrounded by skeletons - atmospheric coloring & shadow abound. My own original acrylic painting. ******PLEASE NOTE - FEEL FREE TO CHANGE SIZES, PAPER TYPE, ADD A FRAME, MATTING, OR LEAVE IT AS A PLAIN PRINT!******
