We're excited to share an exclusive new tutorial with you, crafted using free images from Vault Editions! In this lesson, you'll learn how to create a hauntingly beautiful Memento Mori artwork in Photoshop—whether you’re a seasoned artist or a beginner just starting out.
But what is Memento Mori? This phrase, meaning "remember you must die" in Latin, has been a powerful theme in art for centuries. Often represented by symbols like skulls, hourglasses, and other reminders of mortality, it serves as a reflection on the fleeting nature of life, inspiring artists throughout history to explore life’s impermanence in their work.
This will guide you through the process of transforming historical engravings into stunning, contemporary pieces of art. We believe that by reimagining these age-old themes, you can create something truly fresh and relevant while still honouring the rich artistic heritage of the past.
