Pastel: Catching butterflies (2023)Pastel drawing
by Alla Semenova

This drawing turns an everyday scene into a quiet reflection on the fragility of presence. Crumpled sheets, soft folds of fabric, and three delicate butterflies resting upon them — all seem suspended between wakefulness and dream.

The work speaks about the invisible traces we leave in familiar places: warmth, movement, memory. The bed becomes a landscape of the soul, where fleeting thoughts and quiet emotions settle like wings.

A piece for those who appreciate art filled with silence, texture, and poetic symbolism — where tenderness meets introspection.
