The Design

About Flowers Design de Padrões

Flowers é uma série de design de padrões inspirada no caleidoscópio e no tema "Um Cinturão, Uma Rota". A série é composta por três obras. Cada obra representa, por meio da cor e da estrutura, um importante ponto da antiga Rota da Seda: cúpulas de mesquitas, cúpulas europeias e cúpulas chinesas. Estruturas gráficas caleidoscópicas são combinadas com formas de cúpula para criar uma composição simétrica. Os padrões foram elaborados por meio de desenho à mão e de software de ilustração digital. As cores foram extraídas de imagens dos estilos culturais representados. As três obras diferem entre si, mas compartilham um mesmo tema.
