About Flowers Formatio Exemplaris

Flores est series formationis exemplaris a caleidoscopio et themate "Una Cingula, Una Via" inspirata. Series tribus operibus artis constat. Quodque opus unum nodum magni momenti antiquae Viae Sericae per colorem et structuram ostendit: tholos moscheae, tholos Europaeos et tholos Sinenses. Structurae graphicae caleidoscopicae cum formis tholorum coniunguntur ut dispositio symmetrica creetur. Exempla manu delineando et programmate illustrationis digitalis facta sunt. Colores ex imaginibus stylorum culturalium repraesentatorum extracti sunt. Tria opera inter se differunt sed unum thema communicant.
