Work Details
ETHEREAL GUARDIAN
Artwork Concept: This work depicts a dragon as a symbol of power, transformation, protection, and rising energy. Through layered fine lines and flowing movement, I wanted to express an invisible force moving through the body of the dragon. The black background creates a sense of depth, allowing the form, colour, and energy of the dragon to emerge strongly from the surface.
Production Location:
Created in Tokyo, Japan.
The artwork was later exhibited at The National Art Center, Tokyo in 2024 and is currently displayed at the CBRE Tokyo office.
Behind-the-Scenes:
This artwork was part of my early exploration into mythical creatures and symbolic movement. While creating the dragon, I focused on how energy could be expressed through line rather than realistic detail. Each curve, scale, and colour section was designed to create rhythm, almost as if the dragon is moving across the canvas.
