About the art
Artist statement
The artwork THE BUTTERFLIES OF PARADISE takes the viewer into a paradisiacal world full of joie de vivre and lightness. With a size of 160 x 120 cm, it unfolds like a dazzling dream that captures the atmosphere of a warm Hawaiian sunset. The modeled layers of fabric, reminiscent of the delicate wings of exotic butterflies, appear like dancers in the wind, as if they had just escaped from a lush tropical garden.
The color palette is a feast for the senses: bright pink and shimmering turquoise mix with the golden tones of the setting sun, while the radiant green is reminiscent of the lush palm leaves swaying gently in the Pacific wind. The metallic nuances on the fabrics create the feeling as if the light of the tropical island is playing directly on the butterflies, making the work seem alive.
The artfully knotted and stretched fabric panels tell a story of freedom and transformation, as if the butterflies were whispering a secret of life. You can feel the sweet scent of hibiscus flowers in the air and the gentle sound of the waves hitting the beach in the distance.
The wings seem to convey dynamism and movement through the deliberate folding and tension of the fabric.
The color gradients on the fabrics - from shimmering blue and turquoise to warm gold and red - reinforce the three-dimensionality of the work and give the butterflies an almost magical liveliness. The details of the fabric modeling, which artfully converge at nodes, provide a feeling of balance and structure.
This work is a romantic, colorful symbol of happiness and harmony. It invites you to pause and let yourself be carried by the magic and lightness of a Hawaiian paradise - a moment full of love and warmth.
This work is a symbol of freedom and transformation - aspects that butterflies represent in many cultures.
