Original artwork description:

This bright and colorful semi-abstract butterfly painting belongs to the «Tropical Butterflies» series. Freedom is a basic human value. We are all born with the possibility of freedom of choice, but life does not always allow it. This butterfly symbolizes man's long-awaited liberation from the shackles of necessity and predestination. It represents the complex range of feelings of joy and relief at the moment of gaining freedom.

I’ve always been fascinated by the intricate patterns on butterfly wings. I often imagine: if I could create a living creature, what kind of wings would it have? My fantasy butterflies reflect emotions, each one expressed through its own unique color harmony.
