Some spaces deserve a work of art with a real soul, not a reproduction. SKLUG is the original Gothic snail drawing created entirely in charcoal on Fabriano 4l paper in 30x40 cm format by David Mateo. A unique piece in the world where a snail carries a skull with fangs as its shell: dark symbolism, extreme detail, and real strokes on paper. Hand-signed and delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
Original Charcoal Drawing
Every scale of the body, every crack in the skull, and the reflection of the watery ground have been drawn in charcoal on Fabriano 4l paper, one of the preferred supports for hyperrealist artists due to its texture and durability. Unlike any digital illustration or decorative print, here the stroke is physical, unique, and unrepeatable: the charcoal on paper has a tactile presence that no reproduction can convey.

An Original Gothic Work of Art for Collectors
SKLUG is not just another modern decorative painting. It is an artistic work with its own narrative: the snail as a symbol of slowness and ephemerality, the skull as a memento mori, the fangs as a latent threat. A piece of contemporary Gothic art that sparks conversation every time someone sees it and appreciates in value over time like any author's work with a real exhibition history.

Frequently Asked Questions
How are the sheets protected?
Each sheet is shipped rolled up with a layer of paper protecting the printed side and secured inside a cardboard tube to prevent bending or damage during transport.

To which countries are the original works sent?
