Aspirations(Rising from the ashes) Artwork

This painting is a depiction of a phoenix rising from the ashes symbolising the aspirations to fly higher and restart your journey even if you failed in the past. Though the phoenix's wings are on fire, it is constantly motivated to move forward in life and not let the past experiences or challenges hinder its path. The gold work on this painting is used to create the texture and depth and to illustrate the fire. The fire is also symbolising the fire within oneself to do something new and challenging even if things don't turn out as you want to in the start. The painting has been done on stretched canvas and clay has been used to provide the three-dimensional effect on the phoenix. The colours are kept minimal: black and gold, to highlight the 3D texture and also to have a modern touch.
