About Buddha Said 일러스트레이션 시리즈

'붓다가 말하다(Buddha Said)'는 둔황 벽화를 모티프로 한 일러스트레이션 시리즈이다. 벽화 속 다섯 편의 고전 이야기를 선별해 재해석하여 새롭게 그려냈다. 각 이야기의 인물들을 정제하여 현대적인 그래픽 스타일의 장면과 결합했다. 둔황 벽화에서 추출한 색채는 화면에 웅장하고 신비로운 분위기를 더한다. 일러스트레이션은 벡터 디자인 소프트웨어로 제작되었으며, 800×800밀리미터 크기의 고해상도로 출력되었다. 전통과 현대 디자인을 접목하고, 이 벽화 속 이야기들을 보다 폭넓은 대중에게 알리는 것이 목표이다.
