Oriental Phoenix, original painting

This original fine-line acrylic painting on thick Japanese paper was lovingly created in translucent gradient layers of paint, with ultra fine Japanese detail brushes from Tokyo.

 I fell in love with the image of the phoenix during my time in Japan and wanted to dedicate a painting to them and their symbolism of longevity and new beginnings as well as bringing prosperity to the home. 

The Fenghuang (Chinese Phoenix) in Asian mythology symbolises the union of male and female; it represents the six celestial bodies. It is a sign of harmony, great luck and virtue, often seen in decorations for royal ceremonies and weddings.

Measuring 24x34cm, this meticulously painted one of a kind art work comes flat packed in a A3 presentation folder, ready for your choice of frame.
