Happiness is a Butterfly (Triptych) (2026)Acrylic painting by Rashna Hackett

“The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.” — Rabindranath

This artwork presents a striking trio of abstract compositions that explore balance, rhythm, and emotional contrast through bold geometric forms and organic curves.

Warm ochres, burnt oranges, deep charcoals, and muted greys create a grounded, earthy palette, while unexpected accents of magenta and gold inject vibrancy and movement. Layered shapes intersect and overlap, suggesting motion and dialogue between structure and spontaneity. Circular motifs and sweeping arcs soften the angular elements, producing a dynamic tension that feels both modern and timeless.

The triptych format enhances the narrative flow—each panel stands confidently on its own, yet together they form a cohesive visual conversation. The textured brushwork and mixed-pattern details add depth and tactile interest, inviting the viewer to look closer and interpret personal meaning within the abstraction.

Overall, the piece embodies contemporary sophistication with a warm, expressive edge—perfectly suited for a refined interior space where art becomes both a focal point and a catalyst for thought.
