About Buddha Said Cyfres o Ddarluniau

Mae Buddha Said yn gyfres o ddarluniau sy'n seiliedig ar ffresgoau Dunhuang. Dewiswyd pum stori glasurol o'r ffresgoau ac fe'u hail-luniwyd ar gyfer y gyfres. Mae cymeriadau pob stori wedi'u mireinio a'u cyfuno â'r golygfeydd mewn arddull graffigol fodern. Mae'r lliwiau, a dynnwyd o furluniau Dunhuang, yn rhoi awyrgylch fawreddog a dirgel i'r delweddau. Crëwyd y darluniau gan ddefnyddio meddalwedd dylunio fector ac fe'u hargraffwyd yn 800 wrth 800 milimetr mewn cydraniad uchel. Y nod yw cyfuno traddodiad â dylunio modern a dod â'r straeon murluniol hyn i sylw cynulleidfa ehangach.
