About Buddha Said Серия илюстрации

Буда каза е серия от илюстрации, вдъхновени от стенописите в Дунхуан. За серията са подбрани и пресъздадени пет класически истории от стенописите. Персонажите от всяка история са изчистени и стилизирани, съчетани със сцените в модерен графичен стил. Цветовете, взаимствани от дунхуанските стенописи, придават на изображенията величествена и мистична атмосфера. Илюстрациите са създадени с векторен дизайнерски софтуер и отпечатани във висока резолюция с размер 800 на 800 милиметра. Целта е да се съчетаят традицията и съвременния дизайн, като по този начин тези истории от стенописите станат достояние на по-широка публика.
