About Buddha Said Séria ilustrácií

Buddha povedal je séria ilustrácií založená na freskách z Dunhuangu. Pre túto sériu bolo vybraných a prekreslených päť klasických príbehov z fresiek. Postavy z každého príbehu sú zjednodušené a spojené so scénami v modernom grafickom štýle. Farby prevzaté z dunhuangských nástenných malieb dodávajú obrazom veľkolepú a tajomnú atmosféru. Ilustrácie sú vytvorené pomocou vektorového dizajnérskeho softvéru a vytlačené vo vysokom rozlíšení v rozmere 800 x 800 milimetrov. Cieľom je spojiť tradíciu s moderným dizajnom a priblížiť tieto nástenné príbehy širšej verejnosti.
