art #colors portray the fine detail. Oh yeah it's a lovely piece #Repost from @instagram with @repostapp #DonM --- “It's a time of storytelling, remembrance and celebration of life for those who are no longer with us,” explains artist Robert Owens (@ilovesugarskulls), who goes by the name Rob-O, about the meaning of the Mexican holiday Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead). To remember his loved ones that had passed, he started creating sugar skulls and became intrigued with the concept of turning them into art. “I was really learning how to use Royal icing, and it was pretty exciting to push the boundaries,” he recalls. Although all ingredients for the sugar skulls are edible, Rob-O wants his works to withstand time and pass on to future generations: “It's a piece of me, a moment of time that I will never get back, and I want to share this with the world.” To see more photos of Rob-O's sugar-skull art, follow @ilovesugarskulls.
