Teal is one of my favorite colors, it is associated with elegance, sophistication, luxury and royalty. Having both green and blue within itself, this shade also symbolizes perseverance, harmony and balance, has a relaxing power, relieves internal conflicts and removes stress.
I also created this brand new Carp using a three-dimensional technique.
The Carp, in oriental artistic readings, symbolizes perseverance and loyalty. We often find it as a “steed” or messenger of the ever-moving deities, it has extreme longevity and enormous strength. These are the characteristics that also define her as the Samurai’s alter ego: courageous, strong and patient.
A legend tells of a Carp so courageous and persevering that he sailed up the entire Yellow River facing a thousand adversities, dangers and evil spirits. In the face of so much courage, the Gods could not do anything but transform her into a shining dragon, thus acquiring the gift of immortality.
Only with perseverance and constancy, as the Carp did, can the human being reach heights of knowledge and consciousness, thus becoming a superior being.
The mosaic was made using the direct technique tridimensional on a wooden panel.
Materials: Mixed Venetian smalti, porcelain, blue Venetian gold (24K gold leaf), artistic ceramics, recycled materials.
