「中國龍」與中國傳統漆藝在悠久的歷史發展過程中，經歷了幾千年的淬鍊才成就出這中華民族非凡的歷史文明。而「中國龍」正是中華民族的一大象徵性符號，帶有一種普羅大眾的信仰觀念。因此筆者在探索這觀念的起源及其演變時，終於瞭解到它是由何種動物？或者是由幾種動物？經過工匠們的加工而轉變成龍。現今的中國人仍承襲舊有傳統尊龍為大的習性，導致一些重大慶典的舉辦，往往都會有龍形象的紋樣出現，如年節划龍舟和舞龍……等。龍在中國政治領域、藝術領域、文學領域、傳統習俗及宗教信仰中都烙下了其令人難以忘懷的文明痕跡。「中國龍」的應用是如此地廣泛，但事實上它還有其相當複雜的發展及演變過程，也因而筆者在此將「中國龍」的演變過程仔細地整理出，並從中找尋各朝代「中國龍」的不同形象變化及特徵。
中國傳統漆藝源遠流長，其影響也遍及整個社會生活的各個層面，深深地影響人民生活所需。如今的社會正快速地發展著，人們的生活方式也隨之改變了，求新、求快的生活模式確實跟以往大不相同，可說是已漸漸地淡忘了那些繁瑣的傳統工藝文化，尤其是漆藝這領域，其複雜的製作工序，加上會使人過敏發癢的皮膚症狀，促使傳統漆藝被當今社會給忽略掉，至今，少有年輕族群能夠深刻地瞭解到傳統漆藝所傳承下來的精神與其所富有的實質內涵。
本研究將以中國傳統漆藝與「中國龍」的形象結合做為出發點，筆者想藉由亞洲特有的天然漆媒材，詮釋出「中國龍」形象的威猛與霸氣，藉以呈現有別於其他畫種的龍繪畫模式，在兩者的結合過程中，筆者融入了當今西方與東方的繪畫性表現技巧，期冀自我漆畫創作能展現出中體西用的獨特繪畫風貌。
