This was the first design I did for “China”, a project by Raed Yassin, winner of the Abraaj Capital Art Prize. At this early stage, we hadn’t made the decision to make the whole series in cobalt blue yet, and I was going for a color scheme inspired by miniatures (notice the gold paint in the sun, fires, and borders).

Another of my original designs for “China”, a project by Raed Yassin about the Lebanese civil war. This was my favorite because I got to focus on portraiture. It was also the last one I drew, so I was a bit more comfortable with the style by then.

One of my original designs for “China”, a project by Raed Yassin about the Lebanese civil war . These designs were copied by traditional Chinese artisans onto a series of 7 vases that were exhibited in Art Dubai last week, in the Abraaj Capital Art Prize section.
