“There’s nothing more hopeful than a dragon.”
Why Paint Dragons?
Divya’s Interview On The Guy Perryman Show | Listen Here
************************************
From cave walls to the blank pages of a sketchbook, our ability to create something out of nothing is about hope.
「創造力」は洞窟壁画から現代のスケッチブックの空白の１ページにまで繋がっており、私たちの意思疎通を助け、人生の中でも最も大切な「癒し」ももたらしてくれます。
To me, there’s nothing more hopeful than a dragon.
The enduring myths that surround dragons, testify to our most innovative, hopeful and powerful gift: imagination.
ドラゴンにまつわる不朽の神話は「心願成就」を強く願う人類が、我々の与えられた最大のギフトである「創造力」を元に生み出しました。
“Go where there be dragons.”
Divya’s first encounter with dragons was when she arrived in Japan, in the World Heritage area of Nikko, Tochigi.
The presence of these elusive, revered creatures in waterfalls, mountains and typhoons, presented an ongoing challenge she couldn’t refuse: an invitation to explore wild places and bring them back.
