The artwork aims to analyze the theme of insects/butterfly in the sphere of visual arts from the perspective of the visual artist, as basis of the research, presenting certain technical, artistic and conceptual aspects. The present study highlights the representations of certain specimens in the area of artistic creation and analyzes three stages of the creative act - from simple curiosity to science and to purely aesthetic value - the observations made in the field of entomology being part this. Surprising the phenomenon of decontextualization of arthropods in the natural environment leads the research towards original artistic manifestations and concerns, which leads me to pay great attention to the aesthetic side in the context of the elaboration of compositional structures in personal artistic creation.
