This painting is inspired by the novel “The book thief” by Markus Zusak.

It representa the Death, one of the most iconic characters from the book.

I added to the character a few abstract vibes and a celestial aura.

Here’s the quote that inspired my painting:

“A human doesn’t have a heart like mine. The human heart is a line, whereas my own is a circle, and I have the endless ability to be in the right place at the right time. The consequence of this is that I’m always finding humans at their best and worst. I see their ugly and their beauty, and I wonder how the same thing can be both. Still, they have one thing I envy. Humans, if nothing else, have the good sense to die.”
