A dragon rises into a golden sky, jaws open, eyes fixed on the horizon.

THE ARTWORK
The dragon emerges from the lower left of the canvas, its long serpentine neck curving upwards in a powerful S-shape. Its head is crowned with swept-back horns and spiky crests, the jaws are wide open to show rows of sharp teeth and a long, forked tongue, and a narrow golden eye stares into the distance. Below, a vast wing spreads across the base of the painting, patterned with dark, feather-like markings.

Ciruelo paints every scale of the neck and head in warm copper, red and gold tones, and sets the creature against a luminous background that moves from turquoise and blue-green on the left to a bright, golden haze on the right. The textured, almost mineral surface of the sky contrasts with the precise detail of the dragon, giving the whole work depth, light and movement.

The painting is presented in a heavy, high-quality frame with a dark, textured finish and silver highlights, which echoes the mineral textures of the background.

WHY IT MATTERS
Dragons are at the heart of Ciruelo's work, and he is one of the artists most closely associated with them in contemporary fantasy art. This large original oil painting shows his signature approach: anatomical precision, a glowing, atmospheric palette and a creature full of personality and power. Signed by the artist and presented in a gallery-quality frame, it is ready to become the centrepiece of a fantasy art collection.
