Original artwork description:

Originating from Indian forests, this elegant bird captivates with its stunning beauty. It is considered to be the manifestation of the celestial phoenix on earth and is a symbol of beauty, prosperity, royalty, eternal love, purity and peace. The colours of its iridescent and multi-coloured plumage range from ultramarine, cobalt blue and turquoise to green, yellow and orange, with the blue/green tones shimmering with metallic effects in the light. Its famous wheel, in which it displays its full splendour, is particularly eye-catching. The long tail feathers are painted with quick, spontaneous brushstrokes, some watercolour-like, others applied with material paint. In the background there are similar gradient effects in the tones blue/turquoise/greenish as in the portrayed subject.
