Description

The artwork "Solstice" is a 10 x 8 inch oil painting that captures the essence of seasonal transition through a harmonious blend of colors and forms. The composition is dominated by warm, earthy tones creating a dynamic interplay that evokes the balance of light and dark during the solstice.

At the center of the painting, swirling organic shapes suggest the cyclical nature of the seasons, with each form flowing seamlessly into the next. These shapes are reminiscent of natural elements such as leaves, waves, and celestial bodies, symbolizing the interconnectedness of all life. The use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the painting's intricate layers.

The texture of the painting is varied, with areas of thick, impasto paint contrasting with smoother, more delicate brushwork. This variation in texture adds a tactile quality to the piece, inviting the viewer to engage with it on a sensory level. The interplay of light and shadow further enhances the painting's depth, making it visually engaging and thought-provoking.

"Solstice" invites viewers to reflect on the passage of time and the eternal cycles of nature. The title and visual elements work together to evoke a sense of harmony and balance, making it a compelling and evocative piece of abstract art.

Artist Statement

My work reflects my journey to blend traditional Japanese aesthetics with contemporary themes. Through my sculptures and paintings, I explore the dynamic interplay between natural and spiritual elements, which are central to my artistic practice. The fluid and organic forms within my compositions evoke a sense of movement and vitality, while the geometric patterns and mysterious creatures add layers of meaning and depth.

I prefer to keep my color palette delicate, ethereal, and timeless. I explore the balance between figuration and abstraction, using my hypersensitivity and Reiki healing knowledge to express my awareness of vibrations, energy, and spirits around me. In Japan, people grow up with the idea of "Yorozu-no-Kami," meaning "Countless Gods" in English. This term is often used in Shinto to refer to the numerous deities believed to inhabit various aspects of nature and life.

Caves and trees often serve as backgrounds and fascinating motifs in my work. The subjects often come from my memories, especially quiet times that deeply connect me with nature and its supernatural power, like a full moon night. By keeping the figures not obvious, I aim to convey a sense of invisible existence that I especially feel while hiking in the deep woods or during late quiet nights.
