Shōryū 昇竜 (2026) Original Painting by Juliart

21 x 30cm (unframed) / 21 x 30cm (actual image size)

£208.33

"Shōryū" (昇竜), meaning "Rising Dragon," is a powerful and energetic visual exploration of spiritual elevation, strength, and transformation. In this piece, I channeled the mythical essence of the ascending dragon not through realism, but through the raw, untamed energy of traditional Japanese ink on delicate rice paper. The composition is driven by a vertical, explosive movement where bold, deep black strokes collide with spontaneous splashes and subtle gray washes. I wanted to capture the very moment of ascension—the raw force of breaking through boundaries and rising toward the sky. It is a highly dynamic, meditative, and symbolic abstract painting that bridges ancient Eastern mythology with modern graphic expressionism.

Materials used:

Japanese ink (Sumi), water, rice paper
