Scarlet Between Us (Vanitas)
Edith Pons, 2025
Decorative canvas digital print edition: 60 × 40 cm
(5 cm white border, unstretched — no frame)
Scarlet Between Us — Decorative Canvas Edition
A decorative artistic reproduction based on the original oil painting Escarlata entre nosotros (2025), where beauty, desire, and the sacred meet an awareness of what is fleeting.
Created for those who wish to welcome the image into their space as an intimate gesture of love, celebration, and symbolic depth.
Meaning of the work
This piece belongs to the tradition of the contemporary vanitas, a classical symbolic language reawakened in the present.
The scene captures a suspended moment: a table fragment suggesting the quiet aftermath of a romantic encounter.
The scarlet cake speaks of sweetness and celebration, intensely enjoyed and yet consumed by time. The dripping glaze begins to evoke a silent flow of living blood: love as offering — not violence, but donation.
Wine holds a double meaning: earthly joy and a subtle sacramental echo — life offered, blood transformed. Red roses reinforce this duality: passion and beauty, yet also fragility and impermanence.
At its core lies an essential truth:
what is truly valuable costs sacrifice.
Beauty is not superficial — it transforms, leaves a mark, and so it endures.
