Wet on wet watercolour artwork, using minimal paints and maximum loose water effects. Wide-angle side view. The painting depicts, on the left, a wall with a wide wooden board displaying a collection of pinned multicolored butterflies. Some wings appear blurred, faded, or torn. On the right side, from the waist up, stands an elderly pale man with glasses, thin arms, long fingers, and a receding hairline, dressed in a conservative suit. In one hand he holds tweezers, pressing a living butterfly against the board. In his other hand he holds a pin above the butterfly, preparing to pierce it. He looks at the butterfly; his gaze is cold and focused. The butterfly folds its wings, trying to escape. The painting is filled with a dirty orange haze of thick, blurred paint. Emotional, masterful, detailed, lively, natural, realistic, creepy.
Inspired by a conversation with Anonymous Ananda, using the style by EmmAI.
The painting depicts what is difficult to speak of—what an ever-optimistic and positive soul would prefer to ignore, what a skeptical mind would seek to justify, what an average crowd would accept as an unchanging part of everyday life. But is that a reason to remain silent about it?
Cruelty... it's not a human invention; it's inherent in all living beings, however, no one knows how to whitewash it quite like humans do.
