Ornamental Butterfly presents the butterfly not as a fleeting creature, but as a carefully constructed object of beauty and balance. Rendered with meticulous hand-drawn detail, the wings unfold symmetrically, their surfaces layered with pattern, texture, and jewel-like forms.
The composition draws on the visual language of ornament and craftsmanship, transforming natural anatomy into something ceremonial and enduring. Fine linework and tonal restraint lend the piece a sense of stillness, allowing the butterfly to feel preserved in a moment of quiet suspension rather than motion.
By elevating fragility into formality, Ornamental Butterfly becomes a meditation on transformation and protection — an exploration of how nature, when viewed through the lens of ornament, can take on the presence of an artefact or heirloom.

Why Giclée Print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm
Each artwork in A Quiet Treasure is produced as an archival giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a paper widely regarded as one of the finest substrates for fine art printing.
Made from 100% cotton, Photo Rag has a beautifully soft, natural surface that enhances the delicacy of hand-drawn linework while preserving exceptional detail. Its subtle, natural white tone gives the print a timeless, understated quality, allowing the artwork to feel refined rather than stark.
The giclée printing process uses pigment-based inks, ensuring outstanding colour stability and longevity. Combined with Hahnemühle’s museum-grade paper, this results in prints that are designed to last for generations without fading.
This paper was chosen deliberately for its ability to balance precision and warmth — capturing the intricacy of the drawing while maintaining an organic, tactile presence that reflects the craftsmanship behind the original work.
