The theme of a butterfly in painting was something that was in the back of my mind. However, it became a fully fledged idea due to an interesting episode. I have always loved the butterflies. These little creatures are truly a work of art made by the almighty. The various prints on the wings of a butterfly are simply incredible.
Why I made the idea of a butterfly in painting a reality?
My admiration for butterflies was always there. That being so, one particular time left an important impression on me regarding butterflies. I was watching a movie in which two ladies were having a conversation. One of the ladies in the movie told the other lady a fact that a butterfly only lives for up to 14 days.
The moment I got to know this fact, I felt more in awe of the humble butterfly. They go through the whole process to become an adult butterfly. However, once they become adult, they live for fourteen days or less. The idea of a butterfly in painting was now a determination for me.
I had a sense of wonder that these small creatures can teach us so much about life. Even though they have a time of just fourteen days, they make the most of it. They roam from flower to flower and enjoy each moment to the fullest.
We, as human beings, have a much longer life span. However, we tend to forget to enjoy each moment. I guess we all can get inspired from butterflies to live each moment and make the most of it.
It was this awe and wonder for butterflies that inspired me to make a painting with butterflies in them.
What “The Butterfly Garden” stands for?
The experience of a creating a butterfly in painting using my geometric block style garden in the background was an awesome experience. I entitled this painting – “The Butterfly Garden”.
The Butterfly Garden is an ode to the liveliness of the butterflies. Its purpose is to remind its viewers to make each moment count.
You can buy “The Butterfly Garden” from the gallery and give these beautiful creatures a space in your place!
