The symbol of life

Butterflies are deep and powerful representations of change and life. I love changes and challenges. I love life and possibilities it gives us. I love to paint butterflies.

Here are my digital butterflies.

Golden Wings

‘Golden Wings’ is my fourth painting from my insects series.💦

The dragonfly is an amazing and harmless insect. It has been a subject of intrigue in almost every civilization or country. Even the word dragonfly has its source in the myth that dragonflies were once dragons 🐉

The dragonfly’s scurrying flight across water represents an act of skimming the surface of something deep below. Here is my golden winged dragonfly
that has dived deep to explore the underwater world that its wings usually skim 🙂

Butterfly

when I start painting of course I usually have some idea what to paint however as soon as I hold the brush in my hand it becomes detached, and starts painting things it wants itself. My mind completely turns off 🤪 When I am ‘sober’ again I feel extremely exhausted but happy, because I already see the result of my work.

This time result was such.

I don’t really know what exactly is this creature. Butterfly? Moth? Maybe just plant? Although whatever it is, it represents connections with nature.

Have a look at close-ups:

Dragonfly

A wide variety of myths and symbols are associated with the dragonfly.

But the most important things it symbolizes in many countries are change and self realization. Supposedly the connection with self realization comes from dragonfly’s ability to control its movements so elegantly. And change is all about the dragonfly’s ability to fly everywhere and be comfortable on water, land or air.

Other things dragonfly symbolizes in different countries include power, victory, good luck, prosperity, harmony, happiness, speed and purity.

There are some less pleasant symbols connected with dragonfly, for instance in some European countries people believed dragonflies come around to check for bad souls, others were calling it witches’ animal or even snake’s servant!

Personally for me dragonfly is a symbol of elegance and ability of flying up.
