Thistle & Butterfly - Linocut

Delicate butterflies flutter among the thorny thistle blossoms. For a moment, time seems to stand still. A peaceful, almost magical moment between two very different forms of life.

I have deliberately not yet assigned a fixed meaning to this motif, because I want to open up a space for you to explore for yourself what message you find in it. What draws your attention? What does it evoke in you? What thoughts come to mind?

Each print is handmade and therefore unique. You can receive this print unframed or with a beautiful oak wood frame and mat, which further emphasizes the composition. Here you can find the matching frame & mat for Thistle & Butterfly.

Print size: 15 cm x 22 cm
Paper size: 21 cm x 27 cm

This motif is the second of approximately 36 linocuts that are gradually coming together to form an oracle card set. Each illustration combines an animal and a plant and invites you to explore their own symbolism.

By purchasing this print, you support the creation of the card set and help to bring the next motifs to life.

If you would like to follow the creative process, I would be delighted if you follow me on Instagram (@art.from.ilkas.heart) or subscribe to my newsletter. There I share insights into the creative process and gradually introduce all new motifs.
