Abstract Painters makes poems witout writing.
Biography
I am Japanese painter, living in South France. Making abstract images is a fun, but not easy. I have been specialized in abstraction these days. My creativity is lnfluenced a lot by where I moved to.
The strong sunlight here in Aix en Provence chaged my creativity; I started to use a lot of colors, but I believe I stilll keep the dark somble shadow in my style, which is based on my childhood in Japan. I love wabi sabi spirit. I am trying to unify the traditional zen spirit and the abstract expressionism that I love.
