Green and Blue Dragon Crouching Blowing Flame Painting - Dorsa Spiked Scales - Dragon Edition

The visual

The composition features a dragon lying down, its body covered in scales with a gradient of aquamarine and slate blue, punctuated by bluish dorsal spines that structure the silhouette. The background, treated in shades of grey-blue, reveals touches of diffused light that soften the whole. On the left, a breath of orange flame spreads in pictorial swirls, strongly contrasting with the coolness of the surrounding tones. The style resembles an oil sketch, where visible impasto gives relief to the scales and muscles of the creature. The head, adorned with fine horns and a light crest, is painted with a finer precision than the rest of the body, naturally attracting the eye. The claws and tail stretch in warmer tones, reminiscent of sand or terracotta. The whole plays on a balance between atmospheric softness and intensity of the pictorial gesture.
