“Azura” (2023) – Expressive acrylic painting by Lana Frey (Czech Republic)

Long ago, when the world was young and fresh, a goddess named Azura bloomed in a garden of celestial harmony. Her eyes shone with a deep blue light, like a reflection of the heavens. Azura was the guardian of dreams, in which visions were born, and the comforter of those who wandered on life's dark paths. One day, as the stars began to fade and the colors of the world grew dim, Azura decided to bring light and joy back into the hearts of mortals. She created magical flowers that glowed with blue light and scattered them across the earth. From that day forward, those who found these flowers received the gift of Azura's inspiration and protection.
