Original artwork description:

A female figure shields herself with her hand as vibrant butterflies dance around her. The warm pastel tones blend with the skin, creating a contrast between vulnerability and presence. The butterflies—symbols of transformation, lightness and impermanence—seem almost suspended between dream and reality, suggesting an intimate moment of passage or emotional awakening.
The not-entirely hidden gaze and the slightly parted lips suggest an unspoken narrative, a restrained emotion. The use of light, the oblique composition of the arm and the monochromatic background draw attention to the gesture and expression, creating a strong visual and introspective impact.

Materials used:

Soft pastel on Pastelmat cardboard
