This Dragon Artist print shows a cluster of Dragons flying over Brighton Royal Pavilion. It is a fancy take on the fact that the interior of the Royal Pavilion is decorated in Chinoiserie style with the depiction of dragons appearing in ceramics, wall paper, lamps and so on. I call it dragon artist print since through the years I have been drawn to this creatures more and more strongly

To name the print I have combined two words: the word ‘Chinoiserie’ that relates to the European decorative style that in XVIII and XIX c. uses historic Asian elements and ‘ez’ that is the end of my surname ‘Martinez’ . The inspiration for the creation of my dragon looks towards the East again at South Asian dragons around 1244 from the Southern Song dynasty dragons by artist Chen Rong. He painted a paper roll called ‘Nine Dragons’. It is a handscroll painting that depicts the apparitions of dragons soaring amidst clouds, mists, whirlpools, rocky mountains and fire, the painting refers to the dynamic forces of nature in Daoism. The depicted dragons are associated with nine sons of the Dragon King, while the number nine itself is considered auspicious in Chinese astrology and folk beliefs.
