Auspicious Beast Patterns

Auspicious Beast

Auspicious Beast is a series of hand-painted graphic patterns for consumer products. The series presents four auspicious creatures from Chinese tradition: carp, crane, lion, and kylin, which represent fortune, longevity, safety, and good luck. Each pattern joins traditional motifs with modern elements. Rich colors taken from the dyes of traditional Chinese painting shape every animal image. Vigorous calligraphy written in black ink accompanies the patterns. The series aims to renew attention to traditional Chinese culture and to share positive wishes.
