A 'CHINESE DRAGON'' is a uniquely original 3D abstract art piece inspired by the colours of chinese dragon and the layered effect of juju hats .  
Juju hats originally comes from Africa and been wear in tribe ceremonies as decoration headpiece and represent wealth and prosperity. Red feathers symbolize vitality and energy of life .It also signifies good fortune , passion, vitality . Mixed with gold colour also symbolusies wealth and prosperity.

This piece comprises of hundreds of individually crafted, hand cut and hand painted paper feathers that are individually painted with a beautiful high quality acrylic paint. These feathers are then carefully layered on a high quality white canvas to create the unique 3D design. There are 15 layers of feathers , in numerology 15 will give us number 6 in total and number 6 symbolizes fortunate number mainly meaning smooth and well off .

This artwork isn’t behind any glasswork or Perspex but it’s designed as 3D paper collage on top of the canvas where you can feel and see the textures and dimensions .  
From distance the artwork looks like painting or print but closer you get to it , you will start see the 3d dimension and its texture.

The feathers are made of a high quality thick multimedia paper and painted in a high quality acrylic paint in red paprika colour with mix of gold .  

The canvas itself has been painted with white gesso as a first step and then further topped up with a number of layers of pure white acrylic paint to ensure the bright white background. 

The finished artwork is then sprayed a number of times with a matt artist spray finish protection coat ( MICADOR, which is an invisible plastic coating that provides a soft and permanent barrier to dirt, moisture, salt and staining)   
Due to the choice of the paint, paper and canvas I have not noticed any levels of dust attaching itself to the artwork. If required a very gentle feather dusting will displace any dust that may have attached itself to the artwork.  
   
This “CHINESE DRAGON ”, comprising of red ,gold colours on a brilliant white background with black wood box style frame makes this piece a beautiful modern contemporary piece of art which fit's easily into any interior style.
