What does your Skull Art represent?
Skull art is a multifaceted symbol with rich and varied interpretations across diverse cultures and historical periods. Primarily, it represents the concept of mortality and the transient nature of life, serving as a profound reminder of our impermanence and the inevitability of death that each person faces.
However, it also embodies a range of themes such as transformation, rebirth, and even strength and power, reflecting the complexities of human existence and our responses to the cycle of life. In many societies, skull motifs are often intertwined with celebrations and rituals that honor the dead, showcasing the duality of life and death, and encouraging a reflective attitude towards our journeys.
What is the difference between ACEO Cards and NFTs?
ACEO Cards are real art (tangible), and NFTs are digital.
Do you offer NFTs?
