One of my favorite mythological creatures is the phoenix, which burns in flames and then is reborn. It is essentially immortal. Man is also able to be born again in body and soul. Fire burns out all the things we no longer need. Of course, this does not mean physical fire, but the element of fire. Of course, sometimes physical fire can help, such as walking on embers, but it requires serious physical and mental preparation
This beautiful bird came from my dreams, born from a pile of swirling autumn leaves. Meanwhile, the background was already crystallized by frost.
Cold and warm colors thus create tension and reinforce each other.
Where there is darkness, where the light appears, where it is cold, we light a fire and sit around, look at the blazing flames, and in it we recognize the Phoenix bird.
