Soft Neon Bullet with Butterfly Wings - 8" x 10" - Acrylic / Modeling Paste on Canvas

This original mixed media piece is part of my Bullet with Butterfly Wings collection, a series about transformation, survival, and becoming something beautiful without losing your edge.

The butterfly wings are created with bold, textured color against a deep black background, making the bright pink, orange, turquoise, and green feel electric and alive. At the center, a real bullet shell forms the body of the butterfly, turning something associated with harm into a symbol of movement, resilience, and rebirth.

This piece is about softness with a spine. It is about surviving the impact, growing wings anyway, and refusing to let the darkest parts of your story be the end of you.

A vivid, textured statement piece for anyone who loves bold color, survivor-centered symbolism, mixed media art, and beauty with teeth.
