Still Life with Bull Skull – Symbolist Cubist Picasso Oil Painting

Confront the poetic tension of life and death in Still Life with Bull Skull, a powerful Cubist oil painting inspired by Picasso’s explorations of mortality, transformation, and beauty. Dominating the left side of the table, a horned bull skull stares outward with haunting hollowness, its form angular and evocative, a relic of decay turned into an icon of thought. Beside it, a vividly decorated jug twists upward in spirals of red and orange, bursting with visual energy and warmth. The surrounding fruits—ripe, colorful, perfectly round—balance the composition with symbols of abundance and life. Framed by fractured planes of light and a blossoming tree in the background, the entire scene feels like a dream suspended in a prism of meaning. This painting is not just a still life—it is a meditation on cycles, opposites, and the beauty of impermanence.
