About Buddha Said Serie de Ilustracións

Buda Dixo é unha serie de ilustracións baseada nos frescos de Dunhuang. Selecciónanse e redebúxanse cinco historias clásicas dos frescos para a serie. As personaxes de cada historia son refinadas e combinadas coas escenas nun estilo gráfico moderno. As cores extraídas dos murais de Dunhuang confiren ás imaxes unha atmosfera grandiosa e misteriosa. As ilustracións realízanse con software de deseño vectorial e imprímense en 800 por 800 milímetros en alta resolución. O obxectivo é unir a tradición co deseño moderno e dar a coñecer estas historias murais a un público máis amplo.
