Dream Butterflies (2024) Original Oil Painting by Maria Romano

The artwork depicts a woman immersed in a dream world, surrounded by white butterflies that seem to embody the lightness of dreams. The woman is painted with her eyes closed, her serene face conveys a deep inner calm, as if she were immersed in a quiet and timeless dream.
Her face, delicate and luminous, is framed by a soft golden background that envelops the entire scene, seems to emanate a warm and soft light, perhaps symbolizing the dimension of the dream, suspended between reality and fantasy. The contrast between the woman's skin and the golden background adds depth to the composition, enhancing her peaceful expression.
The butterflies, light and white like the wind, float freely around his face, creating a delicate movement that balances the static nature of the portrait. Each butterfly appears as a symbol of purity and transformation, almost representing the thoughts and emotions that flow in the woman's sleeping mind.

The edges are painted to be able to hang the picture without a frame, the surface is finished with satin touch-up paint, which makes it resistant to UV rays and the passage of time. The signature is present both on the front and on the back of the canvas and the painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
