Midnight Orchid, Magenta Butterfly on Black

A symmetrical butterfly-like shape in shades of pink, magenta and purple floats on a solid black background. Its wings have jagged edges, curling scrolls and teardrop cutouts, and are filled with a marbled, swirling pattern. At the center sits a round, jewel-like purple medallion.

A collector wants this piece for its colour and its symmetry. Vivid magenta and orchid pink glow against pure black, and a jewel-like purple medallion sits at the exact centre of a perfectly mirrored, jagged-edged, scrolling butterfly form. It reads from across the room as one bold shape and rewards a closer look at the marbled, swirled pattern inside the wings. Most pink butterfly art is soft and floral. This one is graphic, ornamental and high-contrast.
