"Papillon" is a soulful ode to the ethereal connection between music, the spirit, and the profound depths of human emotion. Inspired by one of my favorite songs, "Hold On", by Triumph and my daughter, Mona Rae, who embodies the essence of musical brilliance.
"Papillon," invites you into a realm where music and art intertwine, where a metamorphosis occurs—an ascension from the mundane to the celestial. It speaks of the unseen threads that weave through the human experience, connecting hearts and minds in a harmonious symphony, and the magic of the melody that transcends earthly constraints.
"Papillon" is more than just a painting—it is a testament to the transformative power of music, a tribute to the boundless beauty of the human spirit, and a timeless reminder to hold on to the melodies that resonate within our souls.
"Hold On" lyrics, by Triumph:
Music holds the secret, to know it can make you whole
It’s not just a game of notes
It’s the sounds inside your soul
The magic of the melody runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow through your head like a dream
Like a dream....
