"Ephemeral One" (FRAMED) Portrait Oil Painting 14" x 11" inch by Genevieve May Ephemeral One The symbolism of black butterflies appears in many cultures often carrying themes of death, transformation or messages from the spirit world. In Irish folklore black butterflies are seen as the souls of the dead who are wandering or visiting loved ones. In Latin American folklore they are often an omen that someone may die soon, but others see it more gently; as a soul come to say goodbye or deliver a final blessing. In East Asian traditions butterflies are also seen as messengers between worlds. A black butterfly can mean the spirit of an ancestor is near or watching over the living. Beyond folklore, black butterflies have come to represent profound transformation through loss or darkness, they embody the idea that even in endings, there is metamorphosis. There is something bittersweet about the idea of letting go of something old so something new can emerge. I find it bizarre but comforting how people all over the world, throughout time and distance, share common beliefs in the symbolic meanings carried out by animals. It’s a reminder that no matter how different our languages or landscapes may be, we’ve always turned to the creatures around us to help us name what’s too big or too mysterious to hold alone. Much like the black butterfly’s symbolism, dreams have a way of leaving marks on us. Sometimes they stir up the grief we carry deep down but other times they give us a gentle escape from reality’s demands. In this painting, I wanted to capture the quiet ache of loss that often visits me in dreams. For me, the black butterfly in this painting represents loved ones I can’t hold in the waking hours. Their presence feels vivid but ephemeral in my sleep, like a tease, a sweet relief before resuming the day. I have found that dreams can be just as heartbreaking as they are healing. They can offer such sweet relief or become something we dread to face upon drifting off to sleep. And while dreams won’t bring them back to us completely, all we can ask for is a visitation once in a while, the ability to linger there in the world of dreaming for just a little longer. About Genevieve May: Genevieve May is celebrated for her distinctive fusion of typography and symbolic realism. Coming from a diverse creative background, including painters, authors, filmmakers, fashion designers, sculptors and musicians, she embraces different mediums to convey the human experience. Her work often integrates elements of fashion, music and calligraphic poetry to convey her narrative. Although painting is central to her work, May’s practice is multifaceted, fusing together visual art with music, calligraphy, symbolism, cinematography, and fashion elements. She feels that her artistic language cannot be confined to a single medium. Raised in a renovated tobacco barn in a rural town outside of Northampton, Massachusetts, Genevieve May was born the daughter of accomplished artists and authors, Dennis Nolan and Lauren Mills. Genevieve remembers many formative trips to museums, art classes, and gallery openings. As a child she studied classical drawing, calligraphy and painting with her parents and later studied figure drawing and sculpting at Lyme Academy, all before the age of fifteen. Upon entering high school she took credited college courses in egg tempera painting and in addition, studied watercolor and fresco painting with her parents in Europe. Later, Genevieve studied color theory and cadaver life drawing at Stamford University. Here she was able to practice the old renaissance tradition of dissecting human bodies in order to improve figurative drawing skills. She attributes her knowledge and deep understanding of the human form to this intensive. Once she felt that she had grasped the techniques her education provided, she summoned her art forms and created her own methods of self expression and story telling. Genevieve May currently lives and creates alongside her partner, artist E.C. Baugh, in New York City.
