Day of the Dead Calavera "Sugar Skull"

A close-up portrait of a woman wearing traditional Día de los Muertos sugar skull face paint, cropped to show the left half of her face against a soft purple background. She wears a large vibrant orange and yellow marigold in her dark flowing hair with a gold hoop earring visible. The face paint features a dark navy eye mask rimmed in yellow, colorful swirling motifs in red, blue, and yellow, stitched lips, and decorative heart accents. The palette is bold and saturated — navy, orange, red, and gold against a white-painted face. The composition is intimate and dramatic, painted in a realistic acrylic style with moderate detail complexity.
