"Phoenix. Diurno" by Rina Garon
After it burns to the ground, it is reborn again from the ashes. In many cultures, there are stories about the Phoenix, a bird with purple, orange, and gold flame-colored feathers. The phoenix is the eternal flame, the faith, the will, and the passion for life. This piece of art is part of the collection under the general name "El Arte Diurno".

In my collection "El Arte Diurno & Nocturno", I explore the enigmatic inner world of human emotions. "Diurno" represents the light we share with others, while "Nocturno" symbolizes the hidden mysteries within ourselves. Through this interplay, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection, revealing the beauty found in imperfection and the hidden depths of our existence. In my artistic practice, I delve into the realm of color inversion, developing a distinct painting technique that merges traditional watercolor with digital art. By redefining the principles of painting, I transform colors into their reverse meanings, creating a unique visual language. Through computer manipulation, I break the physical constraints of paint layers, reshaping the relationship between space and form.
With the "Diurno" collection, I invite viewers to contemplate the beauty found in the shared aspects of our lives, embracing the power of light and the significance of connection. The medium of watercolor enables me to capture the nuances of emotions and bring them to life on paper, creating a visual narrative that resonates with the viewer on a personal level.
