Queen Alexandra

Queen Alexandra

Size:25 x 25 in.

Dave White’s original painting Queen Alexandra (20" x 20") is a radiant celebration of one of nature’s most exquisite creatures—the world’s largest butterfly. Set against a vivid, luminous yellow backdrop, the butterfly emerges in a burst of iridescent greens, blues and turquoises, its elegant wings captured mid-flight with White’s signature energy and fluidity. Layers of expressive brushwork and dynamic splashes of paint evoke a sense of movement, light and fragility, bringing this rare species to life.

The Queen Alexandra’s birdwing butterfly, native to Papua New Guinea and critically endangered, is the perfect subject for White’s ongoing exploration of wildlife and environmental themes. His mastery of colour and texture transforms the butterfly into a striking symbol of nature’s beauty and vulnerability, while the electric palette draws the viewer’s gaze and holds it, inviting reflection on the fragile ecosystems these creatures inhabit.

Throughout his career, White has used his art as a platform to spotlight endangered species, combining his painterly expertise with a deep respect for the natural world. Queen Alexandra encapsulates this passion, offering an arresting visual experience and a poignant reminder of what is at risk. White’s work continues to resonate, elevating wildlife portraiture to a bold, contemporary art form.
