"This work represents really important characteristic in our lives, Courage.
A Butterfly is shown in this painting. I really get inspired by butterflies. Why?
Because they are beautiful, brave and stable. And we can learn from them something.
Many butterflies migrate over long distances. During these flights they can lose a lot of surface of their wings. They always find the right landing place where they were visiting before. And they know the way back to their safe home. These small creatures are really brave to makes such big steps in their small lives. So, butterflies can give a good lesson of Courage.
In my painting this butterfly is arriving after a long journey back home to a butterfly garden. She is tired, but a winner, despite the fact that there were so many dangers in her way. She sees her familiar places, her home tree, favorite flower, where she likes to rest and a stream, from where she can drink to get her strength back. And the night is passing for a new day."
