Dragon painting is one of the common themes in Yasunori Kimata’s work which has powerful and spiritual meanings in Japanese culture. Dragons are much more than just fire-breathing gigantic creatures with huge wings. The Japanese dragon represents the universe’s spiritual essence, which it uses to regulate the movement of the winds, rains, and planets, also dragons associate with courage, independence, strength, and magic.
They also have different meanings according to their colors; black dragons are associated with wisdom and experience, green dragons are associated with nature, the gold dragons represent value and many other virtues, while the blue is kind, gentle, and forgiving. Also, the white-yellow dragons stand out for their royalty. We can easily see that the dragon figure stands out in the works of Yasunori Kimata, who generally uses animals in his paintings.
Marcelo Lavin is an artist and a digital animator from Mexico, who draws vibrant colored digital illustrations. Influenced by surrealism, his artworks are intriguing visuals of contemporary Mexican culture.
The dominance of symbolism in Vladimir Hadzic’s works, the combination of colors with great harmony, and the division of the composition into grids are among the striking points of his works.
