Russian - Butterfly

Animal portraits in art have ancient origins, even appearing in primitive cave paintings. For religious reasons, various types of animals appear in the works of various ancient civilizations. It was especially in the Middle Ages, within the International Gothic style, that animal depictions became widespread as true life portraits, both within works of art and in notebooks of drawings and sketches. The presence of animals as subjects in art remained constant until the contemporary era.

The use of color and the painter's gestures are fundamental to the execution of this work. The butterfly figures, in fact, appear as chromatic patches in which the paint is manipulated to create a living, vibrant entity. The color is also directed onto different planes to give the subject a sculptural structure.

The painter Russo is an artist who, in his production, relies above all on the expressive qualities of colour.
