The Design

About Flowers Diseño de patrones

Flowers es una serie de diseño de patrones inspirada en el caleidoscopio y en el tema de la Franja y la Ruta. La serie está compuesta por tres obras. Cada obra representa, a través del color y la estructura, un nodo importante de la antigua Ruta de la Seda: cúpulas de mezquitas, cúpulas europeas y cúpulas chinas. Las estructuras gráficas caleidoscópicas se combinan con las formas de las cúpulas para crear una composición simétrica. Los patrones se realizaron mediante bocetos a mano y software de ilustración digital. Los colores se extrajeron de imágenes de los estilos culturales representados. Las tres obras se diferencian entre sí, pero comparten un mismo tema.
