Every color you see here was chosen with purpose. Each of the three figures shares the same base hues, but I added a unique touch to each with different colors. This piece is my tribute to what I call my big three.
On my left, I painted hints of yellow for my sun sign, Gemini. Yellow speaks to me of joy, life, happiness, and abundance - qualities I strive for every day.
On my right, you'll find hints of red for my rising sign, Scorpio. Red embodies passion, adventure, action, and a little hint of danger - it mirrors the intensity I feel inside.
In the center, touches of orange represent my moon sign, Capricorn. It's a fusion of the qualities found in the other two signs, forming a unique blend that reflects my inner self.
The background is painted green to symbolize continuous growth, both together and individually. I used acrylic paint, opting for flat colors with gold detailing that makes the fire sparkle. Iridescent paint was added to the background, creating a dynamic effect. Depending on the angle and lighting, the background changes, giving it a smoky feel. You may notice a subtle purple hue in certain angles; it symbolizes loyalty, power, and ambition - a color only those who truly observe can see.
