This painting explores the fragile nature of the present moment.
A red-haired woman stands surrounded by butterflies — symbols of time, memory, and fleeting awareness.
“Carpe diem” here is not about excess or haste, but about attention.
The butterflies represent moments that cannot be held, only noticed. The white lily behind her suggests purity, stillness, and the quiet beauty of things that do not last.
The work is meant to function as a contemplative presence in a space — a painting that changes with the viewer’s mood and time of day.
The painting is created on a 1.5 inch (3.8 cm) gallery-wrapped canvas and the sides are painted, so it can be displayed without a frame.
If desired, the artwork can be beautifully presented in a floating frame (also called a tray frame). This type of frame is specifically designed for gallery-wrapped canvases and creates a small gap around the painting, giving the artwork a clean, elegant “floating” appearance.
Floating frames are widely used in galleries and allow the full depth of the canvas to remain visible while adding a refined finished look.
