Natural Wine Label: Citrinitas
A personal project: 1 of 3 wine label designs for white, orange and red natural wine, based on 3 stages from the alchemical process:
Inspiration
Citrinitas (for an Orange Wine): "Citrinitas, or sometimes xanthosis, is a term given by alchemists to "yellowness." It is one of the four major stages of the alchemical magnum opus, and literally referred to "transmutation of silver into gold" or "yellowing of the lunar consciousness." In alchemical philosophy, citrinitas stood for the dawning of the "solar light" inherent in one's being, and that the reflective "lunar or soul light" was no longer necessary."
Method
India ink with sponge and brush; digital colour and digital hand-lettering.
