Daniya Yerinkyzy, an artist and graphic designer from Kazakhstan, wove the images of the relics, such as the turquoise-inlaid bronze plaque, the Buddha at the Longmen Grottoes and the Tang tri-colored glazed pottery that she saw at Luoyang museums, into two collage-like paintings which she titled The Foundation and Spirit.
"In our nomadic lifestyle, we don't have as many artifacts as China does. At the museums I gained a lot of inspiration and I think those garments and figurines can be used in contemporary fashion and the colors of ancient vases can also enrich modern designs," she said.
