Monarch of Frost – Chris DeRubeis (12×24)

Abstract Sensualism® on Metal – A Vision of Light and Motion

Step into the captivating world of Chris DeRubeis, the internationally acclaimed Father of Abstract Sensualism®, with this breathtaking piece titled “Monarch of Frost.” Measuring 12×24 inches, this artwork is more than just a painting—it’s an immersive experience.

From the first glance, your eye is drawn to the radiant monarch butterfly, its fiery orange wings glowing against a glacial backdrop of deep blues and silvers. The butterfly becomes a living symbol of transformation, resilience, and beauty rising through the frost. The contrast is powerful—warmth against cold, fragility against strength, stillness against motion.

DeRubeis’ groundbreaking technique on hand-ground metal makes this piece extraordinary. Unlike a traditional canvas, the metallic surface reflects and refracts light, creating a three-dimensional illusion of depth and movement. As you shift your perspective, the patterns flow, shimmer, and transform—making it feel as though the butterfly is suspended in midair. Each moment you look at it, the story changes.

Protected Brilliance – Built to Last a Lifetime

To preserve its brilliance, “Monarch of Frost” is finished with a urethane UV-protected coating. This protective gloss amplifies the metallic glow while shielding it from fading, ensuring its bold, radiant presence endures for generations. This isn’t just décor—it’s a statement, a conversation starter, and the kind of centerpiece that turns any space into a gallery.

Chris DeRubeis has become one of the most collectible contemporary artists of our time. His trademark Abstract Sensualism® blends the raw energy of abstraction with the fluid elegance of natural forms. Each piece carries his unmistakable energy, and owning one means owning a slice of modern art history.

The monarch butterfly has long been celebrated as a symbol of transformation and renewal. When paired with DeRubeis’ icy metallic textures, it becomes a story of hope against adversity, warmth breaking through the cold, and life triumphing over stillness.

Imagine this piece hanging in your home: the rich blues radiating calm, the shimmering metal shifting with every change in light, and the butterfly glowing like a beacon of possibility. It doesn’t just sit on a wall—it breathes, it evolves, it inspires.

“Monarch of Frost” by Chris DeRubeis is more than a painting. It’s a living, luminous journey of light, transformation, and beauty that you’ll cherish for a lifetime.
