Crystal Butterfly Dancer

An artwork inspired by a love of dance and nature. The beautiful ballet dancer is in a dream of nature with her wings hinted in the shadow of her dance below. The butterflies both guide her positive change and inspire her next formation. This coconut charcoal and acrylic painting on fine art rolled canvas is an expression of life through thought, emotion with fine art realism, expressionism and abstract styles. Coconut charcoal powder provides the representational structure for the ballerina in dance pose, using a unique and also made up technique with paint brushes.

A strong mix of acrylic colours are splashed for an expressive effect for both movement and emotion in what is referred to as a unique creation in ‘Motusrealism’. A mix of diamond sparkle acrylic medium was splashed with an effect of different colour at various angles of light. Oil paint throughout for highlights and extra realism.
