In many countries of the world, the legendary bird of ultramarine color is the personification of happiness and fabulousness. But where does it come from, how is the birth of the most mysterious bird on Earth? Of course, from a special egg of amazing beauty!
An egg is a symbol of Life, Fertility, Birth of a new one! The egg symbol can often be found in my paintings, as I convey information from my canvases, leaving the viewer to read the hidden messages. In Russian folklore, the egg is a fragile amulet and the abode of truth.
One of the legends tells about the fabulously beautiful Blue Bird, which lived in an invisible castle high in the sky, where not a single terrestrial bird flew. In ancient times, a bird had as many feathers as people lived on earth. The feathers shimmered blue due to the fact that people knew how to dream. And the brighter the dream of a person, the more beautiful the feather shone.
Then, along with people, mysterious creatures lived to help them. There were no quarrels or wars between them. Over time, people appeared who believed that the dream must be won by any means. For them, happiness was only in power and money.
And when such people appeared on earth, the Blue Bird lost its feathers and weakened. Wars began on earth, magical creatures left people, and the Blue Bird was dying. She didn't bring happiness to people anymore.
The legend says: as long as a person capable of dreaming lives on Earth, then everything is not lost, so there will be other such dreamers who believe in Happiness and Luck, and therefore the beautiful Blue Bird will live!
