Autumn DeForest “Gothic Butterfly” (2023) Original

Autumn DeForest created “Gothic Butterfly” (2023) – a painting that brings personality, craft, and genuine visual impact into any space it occupies.

A striking Gothic arch frames an ornate composition featuring a quatrefoil window above a large oval medallion adorned with a coral-pink bow against a deep navy background. Rich jewel tones of ruby red, sapphire blue, and burnished gold create an illuminated manuscript aesthetic with intricate decorative flourishes. The piece evokes medieval cathedral grandeur reimagined through a contemporary, whimsical lens. Standing in front of this work, the scale and texture add a dimension that photographs simply cannot convey.

The work is Hand painted metal, 19.5 x 14 1/4. Signed in pigment lower center by the artist.

If you’ve been on the fence about adding an original to your collection, this is a good place to start.
