This painting is inspired by the Chinese symbols of the dragon and the phoenix. Together, these two celestial animals represent balance and harmony. As a couple, the male dragon and the female phoenix are an ideal balance of yang and yin. They are an auspicious pair, bringing prosperity, order, and good fortune.
For this painting, I imagined my own version of the dragon and the phoenix. I used the komodo dragon and the peacock, two very different animals but with some similarities in biology. I like to imagine what might hatch from their clutch of eggs.
