Shadows and secrets

This artwork reveals the dual beauty of the mysterious Acherontia atropos, also known as the Death's-head Hawkmoth. By showcasing both the upper and lower sides of the butterfly, the striking contrasts in its appearance are beautifully highlighted—the golden-yellow stripes and wings on one side, and the more subdued, cryptic brown camouflage pattern on the other.

The iconic skull-like drawing on the chest adds an element of mystery and symbolizes transformation, secrecy, and the delicate balance between light and darkness. Together, these perspectives capture the full character of one of the most intriguing night moths in nature.

Displayed in a refined black frame and protected by UV-resistant plexiglas, the composition is elevated to a timeless artwork. The sleek, white background emphasizes the natural elegance of the butterflies, making this piece a striking addition to any interior.

"Shadows and Secrets" is not just a decorative artwork but also a tribute to the mysterious side of nature—perfect for enthusiasts of rare and symbolic species.
