About Buddha Said Serie de Ilustrații

Buddha Said este o serie de ilustrații bazate pe frescele de la Dunhuang. Cinci povești clasice din fresce au fost selectate și redesenate pentru această serie. Personajele fiecărei povești sunt rafinate și combinate cu scenele într-un stil grafic modern. Culorile inspirate din picturile murale de la Dunhuang conferă imaginilor o atmosferă grandioasă și misterioasă. Ilustrațiile sunt realizate cu software de design vectorial și tipărite la dimensiunea de 800 pe 800 de milimetri, în rezoluție înaltă. Scopul este de a îmbina tradiția cu designul modern și de a face aceste povești murale cunoscute unui public mai larg.

Then, the colors matched with the charm of Dunhuang are used to highlight the magnificent and mysterious atmosphere of the whole illustration. Moreover, the innovation of this illustration design lies in the integration of Dunhuang frescoes into the illustration design, and the integration of Dunhuang elements in the picture also enhances the unity of the whole design.

This design redesigns and creates Buddhist stories in Dunhuang frescoes, so that these classic frescoes are well known by more people, and the art of Dunhuang frescoes is pushed to the public and the world.
Project Duration
Luoyang, the starting point of the Silk Road, is in 2020 .
