I’ll be creating a visual art series of paintings based ancient works of art from different countries in Asia. Many of the paintings are done with similarities even though they were part of different civilizations. I will create a series of paintings exploring each painting in the stylized form of that culture. They’ll be created on Japanese & Indian paper with modern & natural pigments & gold foil. Inserted would be juxtaposition of the old historical timeless art with elements of hidden recent technology. An alternate reality that merges the past & present will be visible the series. The titles are yet to be determined depending on how each work evolves.I want to show the similarities of works & add the infusion of modern elements & themes of globalism & technology. The end product will look like ancient works with hidden elements that cause a viewer to do a double take & imagine an altered reality.
Inspiration:
1: Arabian/Islamic “Khamsa of Nizami” & “Miraj by Sultan Muhammad” but can have phones instead of birds, oil fields, etc.  
2: Indian/Hindu 8th century painting “Krishna & Radha in a Pavilion” & Ajanta caves art with contemporary subversion with insertion of social media elements.
3: Japanese 17th century “Asagao ("The Bluebell")” including new technology & cars.
4: Chinese “The Eight Hosts of Deva, Naga, & Yakshi” but with modern anachronism of robots & computer circuitry, etc.
