Painting description

On the canvas, a woman in profile, wearing a turban of waving stripes of yellow and blue, gazes into the eyes of a butterfly, while magnolias swarmed around her, a bee flickers, and a small hummingbird perches on her shoulder. The sky background is green in places, the branches curve in arcs, leading the eye throughout the composition. The colors are vibrant, saturated, yet modeled with soft transitions like glazes. Thick contours, a decorative rhythm of leaves and petals, echoes of Art Nouveau, and alongside them a touch of illustrative fantasy. The woman is talking to a butterfly, and it's magical. The atmosphere is quiet and sweet, slightly sleepy, a springtime stillness that warms me. I truly feel close to nature, as if a reconciliation between skin and air were taking place here—something beautiful. The painting speaks of gentleness and the courage to be fragile, of the moment when you stop and tell yourself to stop.
