Butterfly and snake metamorphosis

Butterfly and Snake - a dialogue between light and dark, transformation. The tension between delicacy and power, between serenity and danger, between the world above and the one below, all these and more fascinated artists, especially those of the late 19th century, such as René Lalique, Georges Fouquet, Rousseau, and others.

The uniqueness of these creatures gave them mystical significance: the butterfly represents grace, spirituality, delicacy, and femininity, while the snake represents power and latent eroticism. Beauty born from tension and contrast - the life force.

The combination of the butterfly and the snake reflects a complex femininity - strength, delicacy, wisdom, and imagination, a creature of light and dark. A femininity undergoing an endless metamorphosis.
