Description from the seller

Unique artwork by ERIC LESPINASSE - 1/1 - Exclusively on Catawiki
Title of the work: #1 - Chrysalis of Light - XXL
Giclée print on canvas - from the series "Chrysalis of Light" 2026.
Original canvas from the artist's studio by Eric Lespinasse.

Elegance, modernity, and high quality are the words that best define the finish of this work.

Presentation of the Work
This photographic series explores metamorphosis and ephemeral beauty through a black-and-white haute couture aesthetic punctuated by hypnotic chromatic touches. Merging body art, avant-garde fashion, and natural symbolism, each image presents models adorned with sparkling makeup—golden and silver glitter applied like precious scales—in symbiosis with graphic monarch butterflies. The striking contrast between luxurious furs (immaculate white or jet black), textured skin, and the delicacy of the butterflies creates a fascinating visual tension. The sole color element—the electric blue piercing eyes—functions as a window to the soul in this desaturated universe. This series meditates on themes of transformation, the fragility of beauty, and the dialogue between the wild and the refined, crafting a contemporary visual mythology in which the woman becomes a hybrid creature, half-human, half-lepidopteran.

Destination :
Whether you are an individual, a professional, an enthusiast, or a collector, this piece is made for you. You are ready to add a wonderful accent to your interior, office, waiting room, or restaurant, with a timeless and unique work that will surely brighten any of your environments.
Bring your walls to life!

Details of the Work:
Print without margin on 'fine art' canvas 350 g/m² (high-quality polycotton blend) – latex inks without frame or mount. As this is an XXL canvas, it should be viewed from a distance; the print resolution is 300 DPI to ensure optimal viewing of the artwork at approximately 1.5 meters (not for close-up like a photo print).
Dimensions: 100 x 100 cm.
Year of production 2026
Unique 1/1 artwork numbered and signed by the artist on the back of the artwork.
Sent with a certificate of authenticity (COA)
New / Frame not included / Unframed.
A peripheral white margin of 3 cm is added to the dimensions of the artwork, allowing the buyer the possibility of mounting it on a wooden frame.

Technique used & creative process:
The artist primarily uses the Adobe suite (Illustrator – Photoshop – Lightroom) to create the base of the artwork. AI generative tools, such as Midjourney, can be used to modify certain textures, backgrounds, integrations into a scene, etc…
A specific tool called 'Mégapixel', an artificial intelligence, is systematically used for scaling, allowing the editing of large XXL formats.

Delivery information (to be read carefully before bidding):
Your artwork - Canvas will be sent rolled in a suitable cardboard tube.
I no longer offer the grouped shipping service because all artworks are packaged individually prior to sale to be shipped to collectors/buyers within the timeframe set by Catawiki.

Seller's Story

Born in 1974, Eric Lespinasse is an established French artist based in Paris. His work can be found in numerous private collections around the world, as well as in a multitude of professional premises (restaurants, medical practices, cinemas, real estate agencies, kitchen shops, tattoo parlors, etc.). A photographer for 25 years, he is also a painter and digital designer. His works are known for their character, where the incidence of light makes them almost painterly. They are a skilful blend of poetry and homage to the world and the human being. His technique is a combination of traditional photography and digital image editing. This combination enables her to create unique, emotionally engaging works of art that faithfully represent her vision, influences and sensitivity. The role of any photographer is to capture and deliver to the public an emotional panel of each moment he captures. This is how he came to create "photographic poetry", where each of his delicate, poetic images projects you into the art and culture of the ephemeral world around us, frozen for eternity, transforming the evanescent moment into a timeless work of witness. It's with this same sensitivity and heart that he invests each of his creations, in all artistic fields, from photography to the creation of digital works.
