There are many symbolic themes within butterfly paintings. Even with the modern way of painting butterflies (wherein the artists use the actual wings of the dead butterflies in their artworks); you can sense the symbol of spirituality, change or transformation, happiness, love, and beauty.
The different stages in the life cycle of the butterfly have been used not only in paintings and drawings but also in movies to show the transformation or metamorphoses of the characters.
Butterfly Paintings Can Make a Room Brighter, Friendlier
A butterfly painting is an excellent gift item for weddings, birthdays, and new beginnings. You can see many paintings of butterflies that may depict the winged creatures in the different stages of their lives.
From egg to larvae and pupa, and finally to butterfly adulthood - showing the amazing transformation of a slimy worm to a beautiful and colorful butterfly.
An artist can paint or draw a butterfly in its natural habitat. He can paint it from memory or from a photograph he took from a certain garden or butterfly farm.
Most butterflies have very colorful and beautiful wing patterns that many artists aim to capture and put into their canvasses.
Some notable artists with very good paintings of butterflies are Mark Astrella and Damien Hirst. Painting butterflies is Mark Astrella's specialty. He lives in Maui Island where he gets his inspiration for his vibrant butterfly paintings. You can also see his works in different magazines and children's books.
The North American Butterfly Association named him "Butterfly Artist of the Year" for his apparent dedication for his artworks' subject.
