Feu D’Artifice Papillon by Robert M. Swedroe

Feu D’Artifice Papillon, meaning “Butterfly Fireworks,” is an explosive celebration of color, movement, nature, and imagination by architect and collage artist Robert M. Swedroe.

Against a dramatic black field, hundreds of butterflies appear to erupt upward in a brilliant cascade of yellow, orange, red, blue, pink, gold, and jewel-toned color. Large butterflies command attention across the upper composition while increasingly intricate butterflies, floral elements, textures, and abstract forms converge below, creating the impression of a spectacular fireworks display taking flight.

The imagery reflects Swedroe’s fascination with butterflies and his ability to combine natural forms with the structure and visual discipline of architectural design. The original mixed-media composition incorporates acrylic paint, cut paper, glass butterfly elements, and digital manipulation to transform familiar natural imagery into an intricate contemporary collage.

This museum-quality limited-edition canvas is hand-signed and individually numbered by Robert M. Swedroe and professionally finished for display. The artwork is dry mounted on canvas, presented with a crisp white mat, protected by Art Glass offering 70% UV protection, and framed in a smooth high-gloss black frame.

A professionally installed hanging wire allows the artwork to arrive ready to hang.

With its dramatic vertical composition and extraordinary concentration of color, Feu D’Artifice Papillon makes an exceptional focal point for an entryway, living room, dining room, bedroom, office, gallery, hotel, restaurant, luxury residence, or contemporary commercial interior.

Why Collectors Will Love It

Feu D’Artifice Papillon combines one of Robert M. Swedroe’s most recognizable subjects—the butterfly—with the energy and spectacle of a fireworks display. From across a room, the composition creates a powerful explosion of color. Viewed closely, it reveals layer after layer of butterflies, flowers, patterns, textures, and intricate visual details.

The strong vertical format makes the work particularly effective for walls where a portrait-oriented statement piece is needed, while the black background allows its saturated yellow, orange, red, blue, pink, and metallic tones to command attention.

The artist signature, individual edition number, professional framing, UV-protective Art Glass, and finished hanging hardware make this a sophisticated, collector-ready Robert M. Swedroe artwork suitable for immediate display.
