Lavender Skull by Elysa Espinoza – Symbolic Floral Art Print
I've been drawn to skeletons since I was a child – something about their structure, their brightness and strength speaks to my soul. When I had my second child, I found myself revisiting this fascination and began drawing skulls in many different forms, exploring what they meant to me beyond their obvious symbolism.
This piece came to life during lavender harvest season here in New Mexico. I remember sketching the initial concept after returning from the lavender festival, still carrying the scent and memory of those purple fields. There's something about lavender that feels all-consuming in the best way – its fragrance, its color, the way it transforms everything it touches.
The skull here isn't about death or darkness, but about structure and permanence. Against the soft lavender background, adorned with blooming sprigs, it becomes a celebration of both strength and beauty. The vibrant greens and gentle purples create a sense of calm while honoring life's persistence and transformation.
Consider this piece permission to be obsessed with lavender and its overwhelming beauty – to let yourself be consumed by the things that speak to you, whether that's the architectural beauty of bones or the intoxicating pull of a summer herb garden. Perfect for spaces that embrace both boldness and serenity, gothic florals, or anyone who finds beauty in unexpected places.
