About Confucius Aesthetics Ilustrovana serija

Konfučijeva estetika je serija ilustracija kreirana s ciljem predstavljanja estetskih vrijednosti Konfučija. Serija koristi metaforičke slike za izražavanje ideja poput nacionalnog prosperiteta, društvene harmonije, jednakosti i ljubavi prema domovini. Tradicionalni kineski motivi sreće, uključujući bronzane predmete, žad viseće ukrase, feniksa, oblake sreće i jelena, kombinovani su kako bi formirali vanjski okvir svake ilustracije. Crteži su izrađeni pomoću softvera za digitalno slikanje i odštampani u bogatim bojama. Cilj serije je podrška proučavanju i široj razmjeni tradicionalne kulture.

Transforming abstract ideas into concrete images is a complex and long process. Finally, the Analects of Confucius, which records the life and deeds of Confucius, was selected as an important reference, and images were combined according to relevant contents.

At the same time, the artistic combination of auspicious cultural images such as bronze ware, jade pendant, phoenix, auspicious cloud and elk is realized. The whole illustration series has outstanding cultural connotation, strong visual influence, and has the value of historical and cultural inheritance and artistic promotion.
Inspiration
The aesthetic value of Confucius and Confucianism is a unique aesthetic paradigm in traditional Chinese culture. Its benevolence, perfection, and neutrality are the core source of its aesthetic principles. Nowadays, while economic growth, people are more inclined to explore spiritual nutrition from traditional culture. The illustration design of Confucius' aesthetic values can promote its artistic dissemination.

Then, the metaphorical design method is used to describe the connotation of Confucius' aesthetic view, and finally, the auspicious elements are combined to form the outer frame part of the illustration. The illustrations throughout the series show an artistic image of change and unity.
