花鳥風月
flowers, birds, wind and moon
When was the last time you gazed blankly at the sky?
People today are too busy looking at their computers and smartphones.
Even when they see something beautiful, they are so busy taking pictures of it with their smartphone cameras that they do not appreciate the beauty of the object itself.
In the past, people would have gasped at the beauty of the sky, been moved by the loveliness of a flower, been thrilled by the twinkling of a star, savored all of it, and praised it as "pretty" or "beautiful.
In Japan, in particular, there are four seasons and abundant nature. Even these Japanese have forgotten how to love nature.
The sky and the flowers seem to miss us, their friends.
As a Japanese, as a human being of the earth, I want to savor the beauty of the sky, the sea, the flowers, and the stars on this planet.
The paintings I paint are the crystallization of that emotion.
Introduction like a biography
Singer/songwriter, radio personality, CD jacket artwork, music video production.
I have had a diverse career to date. In 2020,
I encountered the art of painting.
The first work painted in 2020
Painting landscapes has changed the way I see the world.
I never realized how beautiful the landscapes I see all the time are.
I didn't know sunsets had such colors.
I didn't know that night is not just pitch black. I didn't know there were colors in the night.
That Japan has four seasons, that the sky is never the same twice, that it is always changing, and to enjoy these changes.
Rather than drawing, first look at it. Watch carefully.
I have come to value what moves my heart. When you are moved, you want to tell someone, don't you? That's why I painted every day.
From 2022, he will also start to paint abstract paintings.
With more freedom and more childlike mind.
We are too much convinced that we make all decisions and take all actions by our own will.
I paint as a part of nature, of this planet.
Abstract painting is for me a means of shedding meaning and intention.
I'll paint again.
Let the small emotions and gratitude of daily life guide you along the way.
With the heart of Kacho Fugetsu.
Finally, to you.
Thanks for finding me.
