Butterfly Kisses
SKU: CWA-090
Butterfly Kisses – Oil on Canvas Dimensions: 30 cm x 30 cm x 4 cm Medium: Oil A beautiful and intimate portrait that captures a moment of serene contemplation and natural wonder. This oil on canvas is an exquisite study in soft light and delicate detail, with a subject who seems to be lost in a peaceful world of her own. The painting’s magic lies in the subtle addition of several butterflies fluttering around the woman’s head. These delicate creatures, painted in soft tones of grey and white, create a sense of whimsical grace and fragility. They appear to be in mid-flight, as if they have just landed or are about to take off. The contrast between the simple, quiet portrait and the fanciful butterflies makes the painting feel like a beautiful, waking dream. This oil on canvas invites contemplation and speaks to the gentle connection between humanity and the natural world. Oil on Canvas Cornelie Wolff Approaching Art from a Different Angle This Johannesburg-based artist started as a pharmacist. After completing her Honours Degree in Psychology, she joined Helios to further her skills in Art Therapy. During this time, she fell in love with art, the process and the emotional power it yields. While raising her family, which consisted of three young children, she took part-time classes with Rika de Klerk and Willie Jacobs. She also attended workshops led by Koos Bronkhorst, Niel Moss, Willie Jacobs, Rentia Coetzee, Ruth Walters, Elize Bezuidenhout, Douw van Heerden, Charla Maarschalk, and Jennifer McChristian. Today, she practices what she preaches by creating her work under the motto: “With every painting I complete, I grow as a person and an artist.” My art is created from a place of wonder – it is my dream for every human to never completely lose the child inside them, because it is our ability to see wonder and magic in things. I use bold brushstrokes, contrast and an impressionistic approach to entice the viewer to create their own interpretation of the subject and become part of my world.
