AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Colourful Enigma: Wings of Perception is a celebration of layered identity and inner transformation. Created using mixed media on canvas, the work merges cool undertones with bursts of vivid colour, symbolising the contrast between stillness and emotional intensity.

Butterflies and florals intertwine with the female form, representing perception as something fluid yet intentional — shaped by experience, memory, and intuition. The layered textures and bold mark-making invite the viewer to explore beyond the surface, where thought, emotion, and imagination coexist.

This piece speaks to the beauty of complexity — how perception gives us wings, allowing us to evolve, transform, and see ourselves anew through colour and form.
