Transformation
TRANSFORMATION
This is a series of drawings with dry pastels and metallic pencils. Images of branch sticks and butterflies. These works are inspired by Chinese traditional art, and European art, mainly draperies from antique and baroque.
Butterflies are symbol of change, symbol of life that is transforming. The texture of the butterflies wings is textile-like. Some of them are ripped up, which makes them fragile and yet beautiful.
Butterflies wings which looks like draperies, can create assosiasjons to silk , which is made of cocoons. Symbol of textile in butterflies wings, can also be seen as if moving some of transformation processes in time.Drawings of branches are somehow more realistic. However the moss which is growing on them can be easily seen as textile draperies. At the same time composition of the picture, is strongly inspired by Chinese traditional art.
