It is called a sugar skull but on a closer look you would realise that this particular ‘skull’ is very much alive.

The spectacular piece of art consists of seven models with body paint and several designs, getting into position to form a perfect  shape of a skull.

The painting done by a talented artist Cheryl Lipstreu was done to mark an ancient Mexican festival called the Day of the Dead in memory of loved ones who have passed away.

Wonderful piece of art.
