Impression series commentary
Scenery of Light Guided by Crystals Impression Series This is a group of paintings created by discovering the elements of landscape paintings from the various patterns and colors of gems and minerals.
The landscape images found in the jewels refer to the scenery of Shinshu, where the artist grew up, as well as motifs such as forests, water surfaces, and mountains, referring to Western and Eastern art histories.
The crystal stripes reflect scenery from a different time axis, and at the same time depict changes in light and natural expressions based on Impressionist theory.
Through his paintings, he overlaps the expression of light with the movement of jewels and the ever-changing scenery of mountains, seas, and water surfaces in nature.
While citing Monet, who painted landscapes of various time periods, and the context of Picasso, who created multiple perspectives, and Japanese art, he sublimated it into a contemporary painting that connects it with the world of jewels from a unique perspective.
