This painting tries to transmit the idea of unity, both by the choice of the subject and the shape of the canvas. "Tondo" is a circular shape used quite often in the Reinassance to commemorate the important events in life, such as childbirth, because the circle has always been seen as unity. 
In the same way, the "Sakura" term refers to bloom and die, a symbol of the transcience of things (the Japanese term "mono no aware") reminding us to appreciate spring, birth and the circle of life.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Allow me to introduce you to "Sakura Tondo," a painting that seeks to convey profound ideas of unity and the transient nature of life. This artwork is more than just a visual representation; it's a contemplative journey. The term "Tondo" takes inspiration from the circular shape often used during the Renaissance to commemorate significant life events, such as childbirth. The circle has always symbolized unity, an unbroken and continuous cycle of life, just as a mother's embrace encircles her newborn child In a similar vein, "Sakura" carries deep cultural and philosophical meaning. It represents the transient nature of all things, a concept known as "mono no aware" in Japanese culture. "Sakura" speaks to the blooming and wilting of cherry blossoms, reminding us to appreciate the beauty of spring, the arrival of new life, and the continuous circle of existence. As you gaze upon "Sakura Tondo," consider the unity it embodies, both in form and in meaning. The circular canvas invites you to contemplate the endless cycle of life, the eternal embrace of unity, and the fleeting beauty of every moment. This artwork serves as a visual meditation on the interconnectedness of all things, a reminder to cherish each season of life, just as we do the changing seasons of spring. It's a celebration of unity and a tribute to the poignant beauty of transience. If you'd like to make "Sakura Tondo" a part of your art collection, it's now available for you to explore and appreciate. Thank you for embarking on this contemplative journey with me. Please Note: Colors depicted may vary on different monitors.

I'm more than happy to provide further details or assistance to ensure your satisfaction.

As an artist, I find my creative expression balanced between the fluidity of watercolor and the boldness of acrylic. My watercolor pieces embody a delicate blend of realism and abstraction. Through intricate depictions, like serene birch forests juxtaposed with vibrant foliage, I capture the texture and tranquility of nature. The use of fine lines and washes of color evokes a sense of calmness and quiet beauty, inviting viewers into a dreamlike world. In my abstract acrylic works, I craft each piece in an organic, spontaneous manner. Much like Rothko, I like to use horizontal color fields on portrait-oriented canvases to create visually striking and unexpected effects. By placing these expansive bands of color within vertical confines, I challenge traditional landscape perceptions, transforming the interaction with color into a profound emotional journey. My process evolves with each stage, building upon the last and allowing for unexpected discoveries and adjustments. This journey continues until the final piece emerges, shaped by layers of color, form, texture, and surface. In my acrylics I often use unconventional objects and tools to create unique marks, capturing the essence and beauty of naturally weathered elements. Every artwork is a singular expression, truly one-of-a-kind, reflecting a harmonious blend of technique, intuition, and a deep connection with the natural world.
