Ignis Vitae
“Ignis Vitae” was painted in oil with gold leaf details on stretched gallery wrapped canvas and measures 20x20. This piece was created for my 2025 solo exhibition titled “Metamorphosis.”
Ignis Vitae captures a moment of quiet transformation between a young girl and a phoenix, symbolizing themes of renewal, inner strength, and the sacred cycles of life. Set against a celestial night sky adorned with golden stars, the vibrant flame-colored bird rests calmly in the girl's arms, embodying both vulnerability and power. Surrounding foliage blurs the line between the earthly and the cosmic, reinforcing the idea that rebirth can emerge from both the natural and the mystical. This piece invites viewers to consider the quiet intensity of growth and the mythic beauty found in moments of stillness and connection.
