AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

"The Purple Butterfly" is a contemporary artwork of great visual impact, characterized by an extraordinary gestural energy that references Abstract Expressionism. The painting captures the essence of movement and transformation through a frenetic dance of brushstrokes, splashes, and material stratifications.
At the center of the composition, I wanted to evoke the symbolic figure of a "butterfly" not through didactic lines, but through a vibrant chromatic explosion. The intense violet dominates the scene, intertwining with deep black, pure white, and hints of solar yellow, creating a dynamic contrast that seems to make the canvas pulse.
The prudent use of white space (the surrounding 'empty space') enhances the impact of the central explosion, giving the impression that the work is expanding beyond the frame boundaries. The fine graphic marks and swirls of smoke-gray color add depth and a sense of ethereal lightness.
