Medium
Mixed Media - Etching Hand Embellished With Color Pencils
Description
This is an aquaforte and aquatint etching, hand pulled off zinc plate onto a moistened paper, and afterwords hand colored.
It alludes to classical mythology from the ancient Greece, about mythical bird of great beauty, fabled to live for five or six hundred years in the Arabian desert, after which time to die by burning itself on a funeral pyre ignited by the sun and fanned by its own wings - to rise again from the ashes with renewed freshness and strength of youth, repeating a life-cycle of many years to be experienced by only one bird at the time; an ultimate emblem of immortality, rebirth and hope.
