Li Wentao is an heir of national Intangible Cultural Heritage and an inheritor of lantern master craftsmanship in Foshan. He created Lumina Dragon completely by hand with a skeleton made entirely of steel wires, reminiscent of traditional lanterns. Featuring exquisite materials such as golden cotton gauze and silk cloth, it demonstrates the sublime craftsmanship associated with intangible cultural heritage.

Wang Sibo is a leading light painter in China and a world-renowned light painting master. He achieved a breakthrough in traditional lantern-making by utilising modern light painting techniques, portraying the form and vitality of the Chinese dragon through an elaborate three-dimensional light painting installation. Mirage Dragon is the artist's first venture in 3D art.

Local Macau artist and art educator Liu Chunhong created the 10-metre long Eclipse Dragon with a body that is made of more than a hundred small lanterns. The lanterns feature signature paintings by different artists and are created in collaboration with the citizens of Macau, symbolising the prosperity of Macau.

Uncle Tsang, one of the first iconic figures in Hong Kong's graffiti scene, has masterfully blended traditional Chinese culture with contemporary graffiti art in Prisma Dragon, creating a visually compelling aesthetic that captivates and moves the viewer. The lantern is also adorned with Portuguese ceramic tilework, reflecting Macau's multicultural essence, dynamic energy and creativity.
