Memento Mori Butterfly Art Print | Black and White

My Memento Mori illustration is a hand drawn artwork that reveals more the longer you look. At first glance you see a delicate butterfly shape, but hidden within its outline are a skulls, two faces in profile created from an arrangement of flowers, leaves, mushrooms and insects. The design plays with the idea of beauty and impermanence, creating a piece that feels thoughtful, symbolic and quietly dramatic.

Why choose my Memento Mori inspired art print for your home?

This black and white illustration brings a sense of stillness and depth to any room. It suits interiors that lean towards minimal, gothic, botanical or curiosity inspired styles. The detailed linework makes it ideal for anyone who loves symbolic artwork, natural forms and pieces that invite closer inspection. It works beautifully as maximalist wall art, a botanical art print or a striking quirky butterfly poster.

How is each print made?

Each artwork is printed in the UK on premium Italian paper with a bright white base and a subtle hammered texture. The matte surface gives the illustration a soft, fine art feel. Every print is digitally produced for crisp detail, signed by me, wrapped in tissue paper and posted flat in a rigid envelope.
