]]>Salvo had the opportunity to make art his life calling when he was in high school, being offered a fine arts scholarship from a “prominent East Coast University”. But he decided to take a different path back then, choosing to focus on his skills for business and the engineering sciences. He started working at NASA and went on to have a successful entrepreneurial career. But despite this, he never left art completely.
While building his career, Salvo was doing art on the side and realized there was a strong interest in his works after collectors started inquiring about ways to acquire his pieces. This prompted him to dedicate more time to sculpting and painting.
While Salvo expresses his creative vision in various media, previously mentioned metal butterflies escaping frames and canvases are among his most recognizable works. According to the artist, these 3D sculptures “capture the subtleties and interplay of light and shadow to create and amplify the tension between simplicity and complexity.”
You can check out his works below.

When seen from a distance, they could be easily mistaken for real insects, but a closer look reveals that vibrant colors come from carefully weaved materials.
You can check out Okita’s work on her Instagram page and buy butterflies from her using her Etsy page. Scroll down to see some of them.

I have a friend who works at a butterfly conservatory, and I have seen his ‘Frankenstein’ butterflies flying around there, so I knew it was possible. I asked him for advice, as well as consulting the internet.”
Her butterfly wing transplant was a success and the surgeon received more than 35 thousand likes, 33 thousand shares, and four thousand comments.

“Silent protectors for your home, quiet library companions… I’ve been collecting vintage, antique and heirloom quality modern day textiles as long as I can remember…this is my way to give them new life,” the artist shared with Bored Panda.
Each butterfly is a unique piece of art, and its wings represent a beautiful vintage image. Human portraits, flowers, clouds, and mushrooms are just some of the pictures this artist creates.
