Alexandra Shatokhina — Butterflies on Blue

Oil and epoxy on panel, 2024

24 x 30 in

Bathed in a radiant blue ground, three butterflies emerge as symbols of transformation and lightness.

The richly textured background, evoking the surface of aged plaster or sunlit stone, contrasts with the ethereal presence of the butterflies, suspended in an almost dreamlike state. Shatokhina’s fusion of oil and epoxy captures both motion and permanence, fragility and strength — a meditation on beauty’s ability to endure.

This work, with its luminous palette and material depth, functions as both painting and object, making it an evocative focal point for contemporary interiors.
