About the Item
Skull on Love Letters is a striking contemporary artwork by Spanish artist Aaron Bueso, painted directly on authentic love letters exchanged during the Spanish Civil War. The work establishes a powerful dialogue between personal history and symbolic imagery, juxtaposing the intimacy of handwritten correspondence with the stark presence of a skull.
Executed in acrylic on paper and mounted on canvas, the piece blends historical ephemera with contemporary artistic expression. The original letters, marked by time and emotion, serve not only as a physical support but also as a conceptual foundation for the work. Their fragile materiality contrasts with the bold painted intervention, reinforcing themes of memory, love, loss, and mortality.
The skull functions as a universal symbol, evoking the inevitability of death while highlighting the persistence of human connection through written words. Dated 2018, this one of a kind artwork reflects Bueso’s interest in recontextualizing found materials and exploring the emotional weight embedded in historical objects. The result is a unique mixed media painting that bridges past and present, intimacy and reflection, within a single, evocative composition.
