Between Coral and Butterflies (2026)Acrylic painting by Samantha Malone

"Between Coral and Butterflies" began as an open experiment, with no plan or final image in mind. I started by painting expressively with many colors, then softened everything under transparent white paint. A pink web followed, which felt close to complete but not quite resolved. From there, black lines were used to define the organic shapes. Finally a darker base was added and scraped back, allowing earlier layers to reappear. The final result is a layered, intuitive work that holds both softness and tension, shaped by instinct and the accumulation of decisions made along the way. The work is influenced by my ongoing fascination with the balance between movement and stillness, ease and resistance, light and dark.

This bold and express artwork will add a statement in any space.
