Legjenda Kineze (Chinese Legend) — cover illustration for Sapere Aude
A dragon coiled in red silence, mountains folding into myth. For this cover, the brief was simple and vast: give shape to a legend older than the page that holds it.
The palette stays close to fire and ink — a red that feels ceremonial, not decorative. The dragon carries the weight of the story; the landscape behind it, rendered in the hush of traditional brushwork, lets the swallow of Sapere Aude rest quietly in the corner, watching.
Some covers illustrate a book. This one tries to guard its threshold.
Thank you for watching!
