BASED ON THE SYMBOLISM OF MĂIASTRA BIRD FOUND IN ROMANIAN FOLKLORE.
She was the most beautiful bird whose song could only be heard by the chosen.
A symbol of peace and harmony, of the eternal quest for higher purpose. It was thought to be a messenger of the Saints. with a similar meaning, the Fire Bird in Russian folklore is a most extraordinary supernatural creature whose feathers are amazingly beautiful and bring light even to the eyes of the blind.
present in modern and contemporary art, the MAIASTRA lives on in Brancusi-s works.
