CUSTOS IGNIS

CUSTOS IGNIS is a representation of a mythological creature, guardian of sacred flames, evolving in an ethereal landscape of burning foliage.
The figure, half animal, half divine, seems imbued with primordial energy, its majestic posture and fierce expression reinforcing its protective role.
The interplay of vivid colors and deep contrasts gives this work a presence that is both imposing and mystical.

Symbolism and Themes
Custos Ignis embodies the protective force and destructive power of sacred fire. This creature, rooted in Thai mythology, is a symbol of power, vigilance, and transformation.
The fire, omnipresent around it, represents both purification and destruction, an eternal cycle of rebirth.
The creature itself, adorned with golden details, symbolizes nobility and the responsibility to protect the balance between these elemental forces. Its posture in motion, as if in action, illustrates the constant duty to defend what is sacred.

Techniques and Artistic Approach
The work is distinguished by a bold use of gold, red, and copper tones, creating a warm and vibrant atmosphere.
The detailed contours of the creature and the surrounding flames demonstrate impressive technical mastery, bringing to life a scene that is both chaotic and harmonious.
