Butterfly, 2024 (244 x 150 cm) captures a moment of transformation, the grey area between what was and what is yet to come. The layers of colour and texture invite reflection, as if a butterfly is preparing to emerge from its cocoon. Shades of pink, blue, and purple blend together, evoking both transience and renewal—an echo of nature's cyclical essence.
The texture and drapery make the canvas an active participant; it is more than just a backdrop. The focus is on the process: lines and forms are in constant motion, reminiscent of the early abstract expressionists. The organic layers create tension between what is visible and what remains concealed, with the unfinished butterfly serving as a symbol of creativity.
The materials used raise questions about time and movement. The work is in a state of continual redefinition, caught in a transitional phase that reflects the constant changes of nature and human existence.
The artist explores the question: what does it mean to be always in motion without ever attaining a fixed form? The unfinished becomes a metaphor for a yearning for liberation that can never be fully realised. Just as a butterfly never stands still, this work seems to evade definition and completion.
