Delicate, bold, and symbolic, “When Life Meets Death” is a one-of-a-kind original artwork by Cat Gibson (2019), featuring a meticulously drawn Death’s Head Hawkmoth rendered in Prismacolor markers and colored pencil. The piece explores the quiet tension between life and mortality—the iconic skull motif at the center of the moth’s back contrasted by luminous yellow wings and a vivid magenta background.
This miniature piece is framed in a 100+ year old antique oval frame, giving it a haunting elegance and tactile history that enhances the drawing’s themes of time, transformation, and decay. The frame shows signs of age and wear, adding character and authenticity.
