ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is one from my Dress series of artworks based on silhouettes of historical and contemporary fashions. This particular piece was inspired by a visit to Madrid's Prado museum and very much influenced by Diego Velazquez's paintings Las Meninas (1656) with the figure of the Infanta Marie-Therese and the sculptural qualities and volume of the dress she wears in this iconic painting. This piece is a collage and each butterfly was individually hand-cut from textured red papers and arranged and glued to make this a unique piece of art.

I am a London-based artist and inspiration for my recent work comes primarily from nature, and in particular butterflies, moths and the folklore and mythology surrounding these specific insects to produce work with a narrative quality. I like the school of thought that butterflies represent the soul. I tend to work in series and draw inspiration from classical and popular music, fashion and graphic signs and symbols. I am also influenced by the Victorian obsession of collecting, preserving and presenting insects in boxes. My butterflies are created from a variety of papers and each butterfly is individually and painstakingly hand cut to create unique works of art. As well as their obvious natural beauty, I agree with the Eastern belief of butterflies as bringers of joy and the essence of happiness. My work has been purchased for many private collections in Europe, the USA, the Middle East, Africa, South America and Brazil. It can also be found in two public collections.
