Project description
“The Grand Mission of Painting the Dragon Gods” depicts young helpers restoring and decorating traditional Taiwanese Dragon Gods. The artwork captures the lively spirit of community craftsmanship, where myth and everyday life connect through color and imagination.
Created with a hybrid technique of traditional lithography and modern watercolor, the piece blends carved textures with soft color washes, echoing the delicate craft of temple painting.
Detailed patterns, symbolic motifs, and layered hues highlight the beauty of cultural inheritance and the joyful role children play in preserving tradition.
This work is by Lo Hisn Ni, an 11-year-old young artist from Taiwan who enjoys combining traditional imagery with modern techniques to bring old stories to life in fresh, contemporary ways.
