In this series, entitled "Butterfly", a butterfly interferes with the work. It disturbs the scene, the motionless perfection of the figure, the purity of Litomi's aestheticism.
As the work's narrator, it whispers in the icon's ear, as well as that of the viewer.
He speaks of the ephemerality of life, love and fame.
He tells the story of the character's soul.
Each piece is unique and hand-painted.
Composition: Painting created by the artist using natural pigments and resin on aluminum.
Price on request.
