“Phoenix” is an impressive 160 x 80 cm painting on a Purist wooden body, closed on both sides, utilizing ultraviolet paint to undergo a fascinating metamorphosis. In the deep, dark tones of ash, black, and purple, interspersed with vibrant pink, red, and magenta, the phoenix rises from the ashes. The lower half of the painting acts as a foundation, from which hope and rebirth spring forth.

As the gaze moves upward, the palette becomes brighter and more vibrant, with white, orange, yellow, and radiant pink. A crown sits in the center, surrounded by suggested flying birds. This abstract work reveals its full glory under UV light: A massive wing stretches across the left side, glowing in yellow, while on the right, blue and violet dominate. The crown glows in blue light, and the phoenix appears poised to ascend in a brilliant display of color and light.

This piece is a powerful symbol of rebirth and renewal, reminding viewers that from the ashes of the past, new beginnings can always emerge.”
