Butterflies of the Netherlands

Butterflies of the Netherlands

 

There’s something truly magical about butterflies. Their delicate wings and graceful flight make them seem almost otherworldly. With the Butterflies of the Netherlands art print, I wanted to capture that enchantment and share it with you. These butterflies are native to the Netherlands—Collias Hyale, Melanargia Galathea, and Euphydryas Aurinia—each one as unique and beautiful as the landscapes they come from.

A Personal Touch

Creating this collection was a true labor of love for me. As an artist, I’ve always been inspired by the natural world, and butterflies have a special place in my heart. When I set out to create this collection, I wanted to bring the beauty of these little creatures into your home in a way that feels timeless. Each butterfly was carefully drawn by me, with all the attention and love I could give it.

These butterflies aren’t just pretty pictures. They symbolize transformation, freedom, and the fleeting beauty of life. The Collias Hyale, with its soft, pale wings, brings the calm of early spring. The Melanargia Galathea, with its bold black and white patterns, has an elegance that can’t be ignored. And the Euphydryas Aurinia, with its warmth, captures the joy and energy of summer meadows.

Made to Last: Printed on Premium Paper

I wanted the Butterflies of the Netherlands to feel as special as the butterflies themselves. That’s why I’ve chosen to print these designs on Hahnemühle 310 g/m² paper, which is one of the best art papers available. Hahnemühle has been around for centuries, and they know how to make paper that not only feels great to the touch but also stands the test of time.

This paper is made from white cotton, which gives it a soft, smooth texture. It’s also acid-free and lignin-free, meaning it won’t yellow or degrade over time. The unique texture adds depth to the print, making the butterflies seem almost alive on the page. Every little detail pops, and the fine felt texture gives each butterfly a three-dimensional effect that feels like it could take flight at any moment.

Long-Lasting Beauty

I use UV-resistant inks to print the butterflies, which means the colors won’t fade for 75 years or more. Whether your print hangs in your living room or your bedroom, it will continue to look as vibrant as the day you first received it. With a little care—keeping it out of direct sunlight and away from humidity—it will stay beautiful for generations, becoming a cherished piece of your home.

Perfect Size for Any Wall

The Butterflies of the Netherlands collection comes in an A3 size (297 x 420 mm or 11.7 x 16.5 inches), which is a great size for displaying on any wall. Plus, the A3 dimensions make it super easy to find a frame that will suit your style and your home.

The Perfect Gift

The Butterflies of the Netherlands isn’t just for nature lovers—although it’s perfect for anyone who adores the outdoors. It’s also a wonderful gift for someone who appreciates art and beauty, or even just a thoughtful present for someone who could use a little touch of nature in their home. Whether it’s for a birthday, a housewarming, or any special occasion, this collection is a beautiful and meaningful gift that will last a lifetime.

The Magic of Butterflies: A Gift from Nature

Butterflies are so much more than just beautiful creatures. They remind us of life’s quiet moments, the way a delicate butterfly can land on a flower for just a second and then flutter away. With the Butterflies of the Netherlands collection, I wanted to bring that fleeting beauty into your home. These butterflies aren’t just about nature; they’re about transformation, change, and the gentle beauty of life.

When you bring these butterflies into your space, you’re not just adding a piece of art—you’re adding a little bit of magic.

I hope that when you look at them, you see more than just a picture on the wall—you see a tiny reminder of the beauty all around us.

 

Love,
