“Papillons” (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Maria Gruzdova

Les Papillons is a work about lightness, movement, and quiet transformation.

This painting was originally created as a personal piece and is not available for sale. However, a similar artwork can be commissioned.

Each piece is created individually using layered techniques and mixed media. I work intuitively, allowing forms to emerge naturally, so every painting remains unique. While the overall mood, color palette, and atmosphere can be similar, no exact copies are made.

This work explores lightness, movement, and quiet transformation. Butterflies appear gradually within the surface, creating a sense of depth and calm. Gold leaf and gold ink catch the light subtly, adding a soft, luminous quality that changes with the viewer’s perspective.

If you are interested in a commissioned version, feel free to get in touch.
