the albino butterfly

An original piece from the series “Please do not kill butterflies”, pins and oil on paper, 30 x 22 cm, 2017. ORIGINAL SOLD. Please, all these dead animals ... Of course, not everyone of us can or want become vegetarian. Sure, in some cases, maybe, the medical experimentation needs them to get results. But we really have to kill them for our frivolous activities? ... Is it necessary to have so many pink pigs die in front of a camera? Do we really need to dissect sharks in formaldehyde, to starve stray dogs tied to a chain in the corner of a gallery, or to make innocent ants go crazy in twisted tubes of plexiglas? To make these drawings, no butterfly was killed. Some details on the painting: this piece is made with oil colors on thick paper (paper weight: 290 gr/mq; the surface of the paper is rough). The painting is mounted on a wood panel. The finishing of the painting is made with protective gloss varnish (transparent mastic paint). The painting was made in Turin - Italy, in 2017. Certificate of Authenticity is included, with signature of the artist on photograph. The painting is signed on the front bottom center. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE!
