Russian Folk Painted Skulls

Russian folk art is a style that I am not too familiar with, but looking at these painted skulls, I definitely think I am converted to the style. Graphic Designer Sasha Vinogradova painted the different styles of Russian folk art on skulls to showcase the many different styles based on the area of the country they are from. Each style had very specific colors and elements, which Vinogradova explains within the art.

Vinogradova said she used skulls as her canvas to bring a fun new twist to the art and be reminiscent of Día de Muertoss. Not only is this a fun exploration of styles, but the painting on skulls makes the art stand out even more and to me is more reminiscent of some of the beautiful still life paintings of the romantic period.
