Insects
Delicate and dazzling, these tiny creatures often go unseen—but here, they take the spotlight. From beetles to butterflies, this collection transforms bugs into bold, almost mythic figures. Textures shimmer, shells glint, and legs curl with a surprising elegance.
A study in contrast and resilience, 'Beetle in the Dark' places its iridescent subject against a moody void. Highlights glint like gemstone facets, pulling the viewer’s gaze toward its armored symmetry. This is not merely an insect—it is a presence, a sentinel. Acrylics are used here not just to render, but to honor the beetle’s mythic stillness in shadow.
'Wings of Powder' glows with the ephemeral magic of a moth at dusk. Soft strokes and dusted edges capture fragility in motion, as though the winged creature could dissolve back into air at any moment. The pastel medium lends a hush to the work—a meditation on lightness, vulnerability, and transience.
With fluid energy and sweeping gesture, 'Sky Dancer' celebrates the choreography of birds in flight. Watercolor drifts in arcs and feathers, mimicking thermals and wind currents. It’s less a portrait of a bird and more a memory of motion—a visual echo of air and lift.
There’s whimsy in the wings of 'Funky Flyer,' a pastel piece that brings out the strangeness and charm of nature’s more eccentric fliers. Electric color choices and playful textures make this insect feel more like a fashion statement than fauna. The work buzzes with personality—quirky, unbothered, unforgettable.
All elegance and edge, 'Dragonfly Dandy' renders its subject with the stylish flair of an old-world gentleman caught in the wild. Gleaming body segments and gossamer wings are detailed in crisp lines and shimmering pigment. This isn’t just a naturalist study—it’s an introduction to a character in full regalia.
'Creepy Cute' lives in that delightful tension between charm and unease. This whimsical take on a classically "icky" creature softens sharp limbs and bug eyes with gentle watercolor tones, allowing curiosity to win over fear. It’s a gentle rebellion against expectations—an ode to the lovable misfits of nature.
'Striped Tank' barrels across the paper with stout confidence, its exoskeleton rendered in solid pastel bands of armor and hue. There’s an undeniable weight to this piece—its subject feels armored, unbothered, proud. A beetle portrait that leans into strength, grounded by thick lines and saturated pigments.
Quiet and alert, 'Branch Watcher' captures the stealthy dignity of a lizard mid-perch. The watercolor’s fluidity mimics the natural blending of camouflage, while sharp details around the eyes draw you into its silent gaze. This is a moment of stillness and strategy—where observation becomes survival.
'Gemstone Beetle' glistens with decadence, every pastel stroke catching the light like a shard of emerald or topaz. With its sculptural form and jewel-toned palette, the beetle becomes both artifact and adornment. This is nature reframed as couture—flawless, flashy, and defiantly alive.
'Electric Beetle' surges across the page with a charge of color that feels almost kinetic. Its shell glows in neon gradients, alive with pastel static. This isn’t biology—it’s electricity incarnate. The work crackles with personality, blending entomology with visual voltage.
'Crown Beetle' sits like regalia upon the page—ornate, structured, and undeniably noble. With pastel hues that glow like antique enamel, the piece pays homage to nature’s armored aristocracy. Each mark is deliberate, evoking ceremonial armor or a scepter head. This beetle doesn’t crawl—it reigns.
Sparks fly in 'Blue Blaze,' where the beetle’s vivid blues crackle with kinetic intensity. Bold contrasts and a cool-spectrum palette bring the piece to life like a flash in the underbrush. There’s velocity in the strokes, energy in the pose—it’s less specimen, more streak of lightning in disguise.
