This is a new and unique art expression, created by South African artist Américo N. Bonkewitzz. Each picture is a detailed assemblage of small pieces of butterfly wings matching the right color and plumage pattern of a particular bird species. Each bird is finely crafted so that the species and in some cases gender are recognizable. Each artwork comes framed. Additionally, all pictures have been legally imported into the United States exclusively by Kallima Consultants, Inc., and in compliance with all U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Permit Regulations for artworks created from animal material. All butterflies in this artwork were raised in butterfly farms which breed them specifically for zoos and butterfly houses around the world. They are not wild caught. These farms promote environmental preservation and habitat conservation. This is accomplished by providing a market for invertebrates from developing countries. The export of live invertebrates, especially butterfly pupae, has been proven in many instances to provide indigenous peoples in developing countries with an economically sustainable, renewable product of much greater value than resources derived from the one-time destruction of the forests. These are one of a kind works of art. No two will ever be identical. A perfect gift for the bird and butterfly lover. The jewel-like Malachite Kingfisher is beautifully framed and measures 6" x 6". |
