The iconic Chinese floral skull is the classic symbol of Jacky Tsai.


The artwork utilizes abundant amounts of flowers to revitalize the decay of the skull, representing the beauty of regeneration and rebirth. At the same time, the artist combines the gorgeous artistic techniques of the East and the colorful Pop art of the West to find balance and harmony in the cultural shock and transform the traditional attitudes of fear and superstition related to death and decay, which are prevalent in Chinese culture, and explore the conception of eternal life.


Start Art Gallery in collaboration with Jacky Tsai to discuss the breakthrough of the combination of artistic skills and technology. With the help of the NFT technology, animation and programming are added to the artworks of a decentralized network, local weather, and seasonal changes. As well as the trend of the Bitcoin Price Index can be displayed according to the location. It now helps the artwork to reach beyond the traditional ones.


It can be said that this work is the most perfect combination of art and technology in the current NFT world, and it also fully reveals the ambition of the Chinese art and technology team to shock the world's mainstream art world.
