The Magic of Butterfly Wings

A 3-D butterfly
picture | In 1994 Liang began to study the art of butterfly pictures and produced
simple 2-D works. He said that although his initial pictures were strictly
numbers, it was difficult to produce them using butterfly wings, especially
handling the radian of each figure's pivot point, which was hard to maneuver in
terms of pasting and color matching.
In the past, Liang may have trimmed butterfly wings to coordinate images, but
today he always uses complete butterfly wings to retain their original, natural
beauty. Sometimes, Liang suspends his work out of consideration for nature and
preservation laws.
 In 1998, Liang began to study and raise butterflies via
artificial propagation. By 1999, he had successfully reproduced the Troides
Helena (Linnaeus), Pachliopta Aritolochiae (Fabricius), Danaus
Chrysippus (Linnaeus), Catopsilia Pomona F. Crocale (Fabricius)
and other butterfly species, supplying sufficient sources for his creations.
 Liang genuinely loves butterflies and knows how to protect them. His
aesthetic pursuits have made him China's first individual with the largest
collection of butterflies to have created the most butterfly pictures.
Liang has three wishes: He hopes for a butterfly museum of his own, to
display his works abroad, and to exhibit his pictures at the 2010 Expo.
