Butterflies are the symbol of joy and usually, of color. This one is named Idea Leuconoe, or simply the Paper Kite Butterfly. Its black and white wings make it stand out from other, more vibrantly colored insects.
It is originated from Southeast Asia, but can be found in greenhouses around the world.
A being that is both black and white, fragile and gracious, wild and peaceful. It reminds me of how human emontions or thoughts are always in contrast with one another.
The butterfly is acrylic color on paper, the background is cardboard filled with acrlyic paint
When I was a child I visited the Schmetterlinghaus in Vienna. It is here that I first encountered this kind of butterfly and was impressed by its simplicity and grace at the same time.
