Description graphite on paper

β€œ'Is it possible to become friends with a butterfly?'
'It is if you first become a part of nature. You suppress your presence as a human being, stay very still, and convince yourself that you are a tree or grass or a flower'"

- Haruki Murakami, 1Q84

People and their environment are all made up of the same energy that just gets passed around over time. We are physically closer to a tree or a bush than we often realize.

This is wonderful, great work. Love the concept. Call it "Butterfly Queen".

If I may I would like to propose a title

''In accordance with nature''


To become a friend of someone,

first You must become a part of him

and give a part of Your own self to the other person

because 'friendship' has another name I believe

which most of us have forgotten or

just feel afraid to say aloud:

'Soul Comunion'


These butterflies are wonderful

You've drawn every detail so precisely

this one spreading his wings on her hair,

on her right shoulder

is my favourite one:Β Swallowtail


I admire how You managed to draw the hair here.

It looks as if it was a quickset hedge

with so many little creatures living in it...

catterpilars, ladybirds and lots of other little organisms.

I see there even a chrysalis hanging


The body of this woman is a soil

on which flowers and other plants grow

and her face expression shows deep concentration,

so I think there was no need to draw her eyes here

as they would be closed or their expression would be absentminded.

This woman's soul is not in her body anymore.

It's everywhere around her but not there.

She feels like being a part of something

of some great spirit

the spirit of this world

the spirit of Nature


When You go deep into something with Your heart

You become a part of it


Haruki Murakami was right

only when You open Your heart

You can become a part of Nature.

Thank you for your comment. It is incredible inspiring to see someone actually spending time thinking Β about something I have created

drawings and paintings are the most creative and demanding art forms

no copying, pasting, modifications...

You start from nothing and end up with something... or with nothing at all

depending on a day, on amount of ideas and on the blessing hand of the muse of all artists:Β 

INSPIRATION

some of the drawings we make are just empty

do you have this sometimes?

because all of mine are emptyΒ 

I obviously don't have this gift to convey the images from my head to the paper so...

I decided to start a journey with photography

it's this less demanding kind of art

You always end up with something

Thank you. It's not the best book by him, but really, anything by Murakami is wonderful. Sputnik Sweetheart and South of the Border West of the Sun are my favorites.

This is pretty awesome (I mean the art not the title).

Or in the night, when you switch your light on in your tent. When you are the only light out there - they will come like a storm and you will not know their names. And maybe some of them are unknown and untouched by our science. And then you will shine for them in the darkness and dance in the storm for a while. ~

Lovely piece of art, haven't seen something beautiful like this for a while. Thank you so much for sharing. <3
