THE 24-KARAT GOLDEN PHOENIX
Encaustic technique on canvas in custom gold plated frame, 170 cm × 120 cm, Pigmented beeswax, 24-karat gold material and 24 k gold plated frame
The 24-Karat Golden Phoenix is the signature artwork of the Gavrieli Gold Collection and is deeply inspired by historical elements dating back thousands of years to ancient Egypt. The gold was an integral part of the culture and held spiritual meaning as a powerful symbol of wealth, abundance, and iconic status. The development process of gold integrated into the encaustic technique involved 5 years of experimentation with different materials and mastering the technique style of the artist, simply following his dream and passion. The process involved the creation of 700 + 300 (frame) hours and 200 g of pure 24-karat gold in a custom 24-karat gold-plated frame. The Gavrieli 24-Karat Gold Collection is reserved for a single collector or institution to become a founding patron.
