Butterflies and freedom

Butterflies make me thinking of freedom. Flying high, visiting the flowers of their choice, being fragile and beautiful. When I was a little kid I was already deeply impressed. To me the butterfly is a symbol, also a symbol for artists. How often do we see that a country without freedom or a life without freedom is leading to a mind in prison. No new, renewing art, no expression or artist crying in their art for FREEDOM. Deep emotional work and art. I know freedom has borders. We can not cross every border. But this work is dedicated to all artists with my wish: "Set your mind and spirits free like a butterfly and create a wonderful world". Happy weekend everybody. In this work you have to take a close look to find my butterfly. This one is in the process to get set free. Image copyright: Thea Walstra
