Conserve

Description

Conserve, by Olivia Daane

In Conserve, Olivia Daane strips her signature butterfly motif down to bold, black brushstrokes, allowing the form to speak with raw power and simplicity. This striking monochromatic piece is layered over a soft, pastel background with subtle hints of pinks and pale blues, offering a sense of calm that contrasts with the dramatic, inky lines of the butterfly’s wings.

At the heart of the canvas is a hand-painted Chinese character for “save” or “rescue,” symbolizing the importance of protecting nature’s delicate balance. Drips of paint and loose, expressive strokes remind viewers of both fragility and resilience — a call to appreciate and safeguard beauty before it fades.

Conserve is more than a painting; it’s a powerful visual reminder of environmental awareness and the responsibility we hold to protect the natural world. With its bold yet elegant presence, this piece makes a meaningful statement in any collection.
