More about Hear No, Speak No, See No

This artwork beautifully merges stylistic influences from Memento Mori, Art Nouveau, and Post-Impressionism, echoing the philosophical and visual hallmarks of each movement while celebrating life, death, and ornate beauty.

The skulls at the forefront symbolize the Latin concept of "Remember you must die", a poignant reminder of mortality. The intricate swirls and organic patterns woven into the bone structures evoke a sense of life still flourishing, even in death. It serves to remind viewers of the impermanence of life, a theme often explored in traditional European art.

The flowing tendrils and ornate lines wrapping through the figures recall Art Nouveau's organic forms and decorative flourishes, which emphasize harmony and movement. The meticulously detailed contours transform lifeless skulls into ethereal, almost living works of art, as seen in the works of Alphonse Mucha or Gustav Klimt.

The recurring visual motifs skeletal forms, organic swirls, and red eyes convey a dual narrative of decay and rebirth. Red, often associated with passion or the afterlife, seems to breathe life into the otherwise static skulls.

The fusion of Camilo Mori's bold expressiveness and Cesare Mori’s precision reflects a style deeply rooted in modernism yet connected to timeless themes. Combining ornamental elegance with philosophical symbolism, this piece transcends eras, offering both a visual spectacle and contemplative depth.
