This surrealist oil painting depicts a magical and dreamlike scene: a deserted street under a deep starry sky, where colourful butterflies fly around in the night. The buildings look silent and deserted, as if time has frozen. A shimmering moon appears high above the street, spreading a mysterious glow and giving the scene an almost dreamlike atmosphere.
The butterfly in painting often symbolises transformation, freedom and soul force. In this work, their fiery orange and yellow wings contrast with the dark background of the deserted city. The result is a powerful play between decay and renewal, stillness and movement, darkness and light.
This artwork of butterflies and night sky exudes an almost spiritual atmosphere and evokes feelings of melancholy and wonder. The painting invites the viewer to reflect on themes of transience, hope and the beauty that can blossom even in desolate places.
Whether you are fascinated by surrealist art, the symbolism of butterflies or the poetry of a silent night, this painting combines all these elements in one powerful and mysterious image.
