Sacred Beast

Kirin was introduced to Japan via China where it was known as qilin. In Japanese mythology kirin is often depicted as a chimeric beast, a deer covered in sacred flames and dragon scales, and having the tail of an ox and flowing mane. Kirin is one of the rarest and most sacred creatures and it is the symbol of goodness, justice and wisdom.

My piece for Pelätyt & Palvotut artist collective's Yokai themed exhibition! I chose kirin because I had been wanting to draw one for ages and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. The piece was done traditionally in watercolours and this was the first time I used gold leaf in my art! I will definitely keep experimenting with it.
