Where Fire Remembers the Sky

This original contemporary artwork by Heather Dixon is an acrylic on canvas measuring 16x20 inches. The composition features a central, stylized phoenix rising from a dynamic explosion of colors against a deep black background. The bird is rendered in vibrant shades of gold, orange, and yellow, framed by a delicate, glowing circular halo. The bottom half of the canvas utilizes a fluid art or 'acrylic pour' technique, creating marbled textures of fiery red, magenta, and copper that mimic embers and flames. In contrast, the upper portion introduces cool, nebulous wisps of royal blue and sapphire, suggesting a celestial or evening sky. The piece is executed on a standard depth stretched canvas with visible texture from the fluid application. The condition is excellent and new, showing no signs of cracking, fading, or mechanical damage. The brushwork on the central figure is precise, while the surrounding environment relies on organic, cell-like formations typical of high-quality fluid acrylic mediums. This work represents a modern fusion of representational and abstract expressionism, likely created in the early 2020s.
