Butterfly of the night 2007
Acryl and oil on canvas
Dim.(dim L 200 x W 140 cm)
In the heart of this mysterious painting, where the moth is the main theme, unfolds a profound story of transformation, desire, and inner strength. The moth, with its soft colors and silent movements, symbolizes the hidden layers of our existence, inner growth, and the quest for light in the darkness.
The character, hidden and vulnerable in their nakedness, lived primarily at night. Like the moth, they were instinctively drawn to the unknown, the light that shone in the darkest hours. Their life was a continuous metamorphosis, a journey from darkness to light, where they repeatedly transformed and grew on a deeper, invisible level.
The moth in the painting represents not only transformation and inner growth but also the longing for the unattainable. Just as the hidden, not directly perceivable character in this work, who was always drawn to the light, even if it was not without danger, symbolizes desire, the spiritual quest for truth and transformation.
This painting invites the viewer to reflect on their own inner journey, the hidden layers of their soul, and the strength that lies in vulnerability and silence. It is a reminder that, like the moth, we all undergo a process of transformation and growth, even in the darkest moments of our lives.
