The Sunset and Cloud Print

My work is deeply rooted and influenced by the rich tradition of Hanakotoba (花言葉), the Japanese language of flowers. Drawing inspiration from this centuries-old practice, I seek to imbue my abstract paintings with layers of meaning and emotion, creating a visual dialogue that resonates with viewers on a profound level. Informed by my background in mixed media and a keen understanding of color theory, I explore the symbolic significance of flowers as a means of communication. Each brushstroke, texture, and hue is carefully chosen to convey a specific sentiment or message, allowing the viewer to interpret the work in their own unique way. Through my art, I aim to create moments of connection and contemplation, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty and complexity of the natural world. Whether evoking feelings of love, gratitude, or resilience, my paintings serve as a mirror to the human experience, offering a glimpse into the universal language of the heart. In essence, my work is a celebration of the power of art to transcend language and culture, uniting us in our shared humanity. By engaging with the vocabulary of Hanakotoba, I hope to inspire others to see the world with fresh eyes and to find beauty and meaning in the most unexpected places.
