BUTTERFLY’S LIFE
The series came to life after I had lived with the real exotic butterflies
for ten days. At home butterflies were really a pitiful sight. I made up my mind to create this series of paintings and to dedicate it to our home butterflies. In this series I depict the world from the view of butterflies.
They were close to me the moment I was painting. The black one was sitting on me all the three days as a brooch while I was making a
painting about it (You can find photos and description of the process in my blog).
On my paintings I depict the freedom that the home butterflies were deprived of. The whole series is abstract just as the world view of this
beautiful insect.
This is a series of beautiful abstractions with nature elements put together with ornaments and wings’ surfaces. This is a sort of my statement as an artist about animals in captivity and about their beauty.
