In this work, created on a "pedestrian path" sign, Aj Roi uses his painting to transform the little man on a blue background into a skeleton, maintaining the simplicity typical of road sign subjects.


"Skeleton on blue background" is one of those works born very instinctively and without any conscious thought behind it.
Although Aj Roi created it in the spring of 2024, it draws on a sketch conceived long before, during a less than happy period of his life.


"Even though it doesn't arise from reasoning, and isn't intended to communicate something definite," says the artist, "I still find it capable of conveying something, since it was born from my subconscious. Everyone is able to appeal to their own sensibilities and choose the meaning they derive from it."
He concludes by stating: "I am convinced that we should value works that arise spontaneously as much as (or even more than) those that are created with the intellect."
