Lotus and Dragonfly Metal Wall Art Dragonfly Metal for Insect Enthusiasts

Iridescent wings over the lotus.

A dragonfly opens its wings across the middle of the disc, each one divided into small coloured panels of pale blue, lilac and mint, with gold lines running between them like the seams in a window. The body is dark green and segmented, and the whole insect sits directly under a purple lotus in full bloom.

A second lotus opens at the lower left, a closed bud waits on the right, and broad lily pads in teal and green fill the bottom. The sky behind is deep navy shot through with starlight and soft blue swirls. The stained-glass effect is printed onto aluminium rather than assembled from cut glass, and the finish stays smooth and matte.

The dragonfly stands for change and short bright seasons in many traditions, and the water lily pairs with it naturally. Hang it near a window, over a bathtub, or in a garden room under cover. It suits someone who keeps a pond, or who marks transitions with something more lasting than a candle.
