Glam Metamorphisis (Original)
"Glam Metamorphosis," a mix media piece by Carol Stoeker, captures the exquisite transformation of nature into art. At its heart lies a vividly colored butterfly with wings that unfold in a mosaic of aquamarine, black, and coral, accented by pops of red and dotted with sparkling specks resembling glitter. Each wing is a canvas in itself, displaying symmetrical patterns that evoke a sense of balanced harmony. The creature is set against a golden textured backdrop, reminiscent of rough-cut gold leaf, which complements the glittering elements of the butterfly. This acrylic on canvas artwork merges the organic beauty of a butterfly with a touch of human ingenuity, creating a representation that shimmers with life and luxury. The artwork is not just a visual treat but a celebration of transformation, both in nature and in the artistic process, evoking the perpetual allure of change and rebirth.
