flowerphant Painting

The motif of the artworks was the ‘fragrance elephant’ in the Buddhist scriptures. In Buddhism, the fragrance elephant means a person who deeply finds the Buddhist doctrines. Regardless of religion, the artist wanted to create the artworks fully containing the meaning that fragrant wind originated from a person who attained the highest state of enlightenment would overflow in all directions through influences on others. Even though it could sound grandiose, it might be the same meaning with the purpose of drawing the paintings in which minds could be expressed and communicated with each other. In the oriental arts, the apricot flowers often appear as the representative flowers with fragrance. As the apricot flower with fragrance blossoms first after the snow ends, it symbolizes the high principle and integrity, which accords with the elephant’s habit to continuously move forward by breaking down obstacles. Thus, the compound word ‘flowerphant’ of ‘flower’ expressing the fragrance and ‘elephant’ aims to newly reinterpret elephants. The gold color used for the background of several works is the pure gold. One of the many symbols of elephant is the wealth, so that the works were completed with pure gold used for the creation of statues of the Buddha by praying for viewers’ wealth. The artist worked on each artwork by hoping that all the viewers would receive the positive fragrance and energy from them.
