Butterfly Artwork ...

With his love for the stunning beauty of Butterflies, and inspired by artists such as Van Gogh & Damian Hirst, since 2015 Robert designed his own collection of Butterfly Artwork. A beautiful and above all unique collection of mostly Glass Domes & Frames filled with the most beautiful species of butterflies from all over the world. The collection is characterized by Robert's very own way of working. Each Butterfly Artwork piece is carefully handmade and provided with a name/designer-tag.

All of the real Butterflies and insects used in his Butterfly Artworks have been raised on natural cruelty free tropical farms around the world. These educational farms provide a real source of income for native people who would otherwise have to sell trees off of their land or raise cattle which are both ecologically disastrous. Tropical insects are important members of these fragile ecosystems. If their natural habitats are allowed to disappear, then they too will vanish forever. Everything possible must be done to preserve them.
