Brains! - Pomegranate & Skull Original Oil Painting - Spooky Art - 9 inches

A delightfully macabre harvest.

"Brains!" is a beautifully eerie original oil painting that perfectly balances the morbid with the mouth-watering. Based on a reference provided by @casanova_ale, the composition features an open white ceramic skull bowl acting as a vessel for halved pomegranates, cleverly placed to resemble ruby-red brains. Another juicy pomegranate half rests on the square plate below, spilling its jewel-like seeds. The vivid crimson of the fruit and the iridescent pastels painted into the skull stand out sharply against a dark, moody blue background.

Painted on a 23x23 cm (9x9 inch) handmade primed wood panel, this piece plays masterfully with light, color, and shadow. Alai’s thick impasto brushstrokes bring a tactile, sculptural quality to both the smooth ceramic and the textured seeds. It is a striking, spooky-chic centerpiece for your autumn decor or year-round gallery wall.

Why this original is a fresh pick:

• Macabre Elegance: The visual pun of the red pomegranate seeds mimicking a brain adds a playful, spooky narrative to the still life.
• Iridescent Illusions: The white skull is painted with a mesmerizing array of pastel pinks, teals, and yellows, giving it a luminous, magical glow.
• Vibrant Contrast: The complementary pairing of the deep red fruit against the moody blue background makes the subject pop with intensity.
