Captured mid-flight, just above a delicate flower, the butterfly embodies movement and lightness. I chose a vibrant turquoise background enhanced with touches of warm yellow to evoke nature, renewal and vitality. The contrast between the bold stencil lines and the luminous background creates a dynamic yet harmonious composition. As with all my works, the butterfly was created using my double-layer stencil technique. Each detail was digitally designed and meticulously hand-cut before being applied with spray paint and acrylic. The graphic contrast highlights the structure of the wings while preserving their softness and elegance. The background was built instinctively, layer after layer, using spontaneous gestures and textures. This tension between precision and freedom defines my artistic identity — control in the stencil, instinct in the color field. Small in format but strong in symbolism, this piece speaks about evolution, resilience and the beauty of change. This is a unique, original artwork. Even if the stencil may reappear in future works, every background remains entirely one of a kind.
