Mila 2015

"Mila" (2015) by Sofia Bonati is a striking contemporary portrait characterized by its striking use of color and symbolism. The woman, rendered in a realistic style with delicate features, is adorned with large, intricate butterfly wings that seemingly extend from her ears, adding a fantastical element to the piece. The use of black and white for the figure and wings against a muted blue background creates a powerful contrast, drawing the viewer's attention to the transformative nature of the butterfly wings. The artwork invites contemplation of beauty, metamorphosis, and the delicate balance between the real and the surreal.
