Arising is the name of a very special project depicting a magical phoenix bird which symbolizes immortality and eternal fire. For the special luminous effect, the Mexican-American artist Gerald Mendez first ground the design into the aluminum plate and then colored it with Candy colors. Dark shades, white highlights and textures give the artwork additional depth and contrast.
