The monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is an iconic orange-and-black flyer that essentially spends its life running on a strict diet of toxic milkweed, making it taste like chemical warfare to any predator brave enough to try a bite.

Butterflies look as if they were created by poets and artists, but their creator is nature. They are masterpieces of evolution, containing all the wisdom of the planet and a fragile, almost mythical charm. Raffinate beauty, enclosed in a weightless body.

Monarch butterflies are an incredible force, encapsulated in absolute beauty. During their migration, monarchs travel up to 2,500 km - the only butterfly species known to migrate such distances.

This artwork was created using mixed media. Achieving the shimmering effect on the wings required millions of dots of waterproof pigment ink and nearly two dozen hours of work to capture the texture of the scales.The watercolor process involved a lot of almost transparent washes of color, layer after layer, to capture the magical glow and subtle nuances of color on the wings.
