Graphium antheus 🩵
Also known as the large striped swordtail is from the family of Papilionidae (swallowtails) found in tropical Africa.
Graphium agetes 🤍
Also known as the fourbar swordtail. This widespread swallowtail species is found in tropical Asia.

I can only imagine how graceful these butterflies are flying amongst the tropical forest. These two urban miniatures were inspired initially by the urban photos I captured. I always love how the spontaneous colour palette of the street evolves and harmonises.
It also shows how natures palette is no clever and intuitive.

Both these urban minatures are 18cm x 24cm and come in a beautiful St Ives frame, ready to hang. £125 each. Please DM me if you are interested in purchasing one as an unusual Christmas gift. 🎁

Butterflies are so symbolic, to me personally.
My journey of life has taken me through many transformations and I know that there is so much more to come. 🦋

Native Americans have considered butterflies as symbols of transformation, hope, and rebirth.

In Chinese culture, the symbolism of butterflies evokes the qualities of freedom, earthly beauty, love, and the human soul. They have inspired humans for millennia with their delicate nature and the immense power they possess. 🦋🦋🦋 their symbolism becomes more poignant as humanity is drastically evolving.

“We delight in the beauty of the butterfly, but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” Maya Angelou

The spectacle last night was even more mind blowing than the last.
It’s so lovely to see so many photos of people sharing their sightings and awe for this phenomena.

As an artist who loves COLOUR, the depth and ethereal colour pallet displayed last night had a profound effect on me.

I sense something, the universe is trying to catch our attention and ground us in the present. With so much uncertainty and devision in the world, this makes you see we are one under this blanket of stars and magic.

Happy Friday. The birds are very happy today in the sun. Here’s to a good weekend ahead.

Rain, rain, go away……
Good Tuesday afternoon. It’s cold and very WET ☔️
I’m always dreaming of living in warmer weather. This year the UK has not had much sun and it does make life feel heavier.

On a brighter note, I’m sharing another one of my beautiful Blue Morpho artworks that has winged its way to a lovely lady who has added this to her gallery wall and a previous butterfly artwork purchase from myself.

It’s always lovely when someone wants to make another purchase from an artist.
I have done this myself also as I also buy art.

I know buying art may seem like a luxury at the moment for many but I think it’s good for the soul.

I’ll be working on some new smaller urban artworks for the coming season. Colourful and bright to get us through the darker nights ahead.

Have a good evening.
Evi 🙏🏼🦋

Abundance 🤍
100cm x 100cm

Here are some more details from my latest artwork and commission to celebrate 10 years of a journey shared and abundance of this life’s journey.

Inspired by the beautiful abundant paintings of the 17th century Dutch floral paintings, this brings many layers of hyper collaged paintings and my own urban texture printed on fine art paper and hand varnished with several layers to create the depth and feel of an oil painting of an old master.
The symmetry symbolises the two sides coming together as one. 10 bees, 10 butterflies and 10 beetles symbolise the ten years and celebration of this union.

I wanted to say thank you for entrusting me to produce such a special piece of work.
Commissions are some of my most enjoyable works as I love to bring a clients vision to life. It is always the scariest but the best feeling when you deliver the final artwork and I was so happy that my client was so happy to collect and give this as a 10 year anniversary gift to his wife.

Congratulations to a beautiful family. I am also inspired by the abundant love and generosity you continue to share and give to all the people in your lives and whom you know including myself. Here’s to the next decade and chapter in your lives.

Love always,

Evi 🦋
