About Buddha Said Serija ilustracij

Buda je rekel je serija ilustracij, ki temelji na freskah Dunhuang. Za serijo je bilo izbranih in na novo narisanih pet klasičnih zgodb s teh fresk. Liki iz vsake zgodbe so poenostavljeni in združeni s prizori v sodobnem grafičnem slogu. Barve, navdihnjene z dunhuanškimi poslikavami, dajejo podobam veličasten in skrivnosten pridih. Ilustracije so ustvarjene z vektorsko oblikovalsko programsko opremo in natisnjene v visoki ločljivosti v formatu 800 x 800 milimetrov. Namen projekta je povezati tradicijo s sodobnim oblikovanjem ter te freskaste zgodbe približati širši javnosti.
