Mariposaby ~kirstinmills

Traditional Art / Paintings / Fantasy

Mariposa means "Butterfly" in Spanish. She is also related to Psyche, whose symbol was the butterfly, and Russian folklore, which held that butterflies were witches in disguise. A painting incorporating my love of fantasy with influences from the popular contemporary art style exhibited by artists such as Stella Im Hultberg and Audrey Kawasaki.

Mixed Media.

One of the first pieces that popped out when I was browsing through traditional art was Mariposa by *kirstinmills. The subject's face and body language tell tales of loss and sorrow, while she seems to be transforming--hair-first--into butterflies, heading in the opposite direction from her troubles.
