About Confucius Aesthetics Illustrationsserie

Confucius Aesthetics ist eine Illustrationsserie, die die ästhetischen Werte des Konfuzius vermitteln soll. Die Serie nutzt metaphorische Bildsprache, um Ideen wie nationalen Wohlstand, gesellschaftliche Harmonie, Gleichheit und Vaterlandsliebe zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Traditionelle chinesische Glücksmotive – darunter Bronzegefäße, Jadeanhänger, der Phönix, Glückswolken und der Elch – werden zum äußeren Rahmen jeder Illustration zusammengefügt. Die Zeichnungen entstanden mit digitaler Malsoftware und wurden in kräftigen Farben gedruckt. Die Serie möchte die Erforschung und die breitere Vermittlung traditioneller Kultur fördern.
