At Alicia Bourley Art, many of my collections explore a recurring theme close to my heart: transient beauty. My latest limited edition fine art series, Butterfly Away, is no exception. Inspired by the short, luminous life of butterflies, this body of work reflects on the delicate balance between radiance and impermanence.
The butterfly, with its intricate wings and vibrant colours, is nature’s most fleeting masterpiece. In just a few short weeks, its beauty emerges, dazzles, and disappears. This poetic brevity is at the heart of Butterfly Away—a collection that captures the magic of these moments before they vanish.
Each limited edition fine art piece in the series is layered with vivid hues, symbolising how beauty, no matter how dazzling, is always in the process of passing. It’s this bittersweet allure of impermanence that I wanted to hold still on canvas.
More than just a study of insects, Butterfly Away is a quiet meditation on the fleeting moments in life: a burst of laughter, a sudden sunrise, the last bloom before winter. These works ask us to pause, appreciate, and let go—all at once.
If you’re drawn to artworks that reflect fragility, colour, and emotional depth, I invite you to explore Butterfly Away—a tribute to life’s most beautiful, ephemeral truths. My limited edition series comes in Fine Art or Canvas Art prints.
