Originally, Vadim Zaritsky worked in the Interior Ministry – the police major taught ballistics in the Russian city of Lipetsk. And now his main passion is paintings with the wings of butterflies. However, he does not kill butterflies. According to the artist, for his pictures he collects insects dying en masse on the paths and roads. Also, gratefully accepts the dead butterflies from collectors and catchers. Noteworthy, it takes the artist from one week to several months to create a picture of butterfly wings.
