About The Artwork
I am and always have been a great fan of japanese sport of SUMO. The spoken word sumō goes back to the verb sumau/sumafu, meaning "compete" or "fight". Prehistoric wall paintings indicate that sumo originated from an agricultural ritual dance performed in prayer for a good harvest. The elementary principle of sumo is that a match is decided by a fighter first either stepping on the ground outside the circular dohyō (ring) or otherwise touching it, or touching the ground inside the ring with a part of the body other than the soles of the feet. The 2 wrestlers try to achieve this by pushing, tossing, striking and often by outwitting the opponent. Normally it is a fast and impressive fight between 5 and 30 seconds . I tried to express the tension of the fighters in my sketch here. I chose cardboard to get it done fast...

In the world of art, inspiration knows no bounds. For me, the canvas is a portal to a myriad of influences, where dreams intertwine with daily news, historical echoes, and serendipitous encounters. Each stroke of the brush is a dance between the tangible and the ethereal, a journey through the tapestry of existence. Drawing from the rich tapestry of life itself, I find inspiration in the most unexpected places. Whether it's a fleeting dream, a headline from the daily news, or a whisper from history, every source is a thread in the intricate fabric of creativity. With a keen eye for nuance, I try to uncover fresh perspectives even in the most time-worn tales, breathing new life into forgotten narratives. To me, life is a grand game of chance, an ever-unfolding narrative ripe with laughter and irony. With a mischievous twinkle in their eye, I invite viewers to revel in the absurdities of life, to find humor in the mundane and beauty in the chaos.
