ELEPHANT AND BUTTERFLY

oil painting / canvas
80 x 80 cm / 2023

Delicate Balance on Stage

the way I see it

In this painting, I explore the contrast between monumentality and delicacy, represented by the elephant and the butterfly. Their encounter takes place on a green surface, resembling a theatrical stage where life unfolds. The soft, wallpaper-like background adds a surreal, staged atmosphere. The butterflies, whether hovering or resting on the elephant, symbolize fleeting moments we often overlook. This painting reflects the delicate balance we must recognize and respect in life, even when it isn’t immediately visible.
