Death's-head hawkmoth (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Svetlana Vitman

From the depths of a midnight sky, the Death's-head Hawkmoth emerges — a spectral figure cloaked in silence and gold.
Its wings, traced in ghostly white and burnished yellow, hover against a black canvas scattered with the faint shimmer of distant stars. ✨
A harbinger of mystery, metamorphosis, and the thin line between life and death, it calls to those who find beauty in the hidden and the unknown. 🌑

This artwork captures the solemn grace of the moth's ancient symbolism — a reminder that darkness holds its own kind of light. 🖤
