About Buddha Said Illustrasjonsserie
Buddha Sa er en serie illustrasjoner basert på Dunhuang-freskene. Fem klassiske fortellinger fra freskene er valgt ut og tegnet på nytt for serien. Karakterene i hver fortelling er raffinert og kombinert med scenene i en moderne grafisk stil. Farger hentet fra Dunhuang-muralene gir bildene en storslått og mystisk atmosfære. Illustrasjonene er laget med vektordesign-programvare og trykt i 800 x 800 millimeter i høy oppløsning. Målet er å forene tradisjon med moderne design og gjøre disse muralfortellingene kjent for et bredere publikum.
