I want to express flowers blooming in the garden, children playing, and warm moments of daily life.

He paints landscapes that depict a quiet sense of rhythm in a classical style, and prestigious still life paintings that depict his unique world view. Sota Koike HP https://www.koikesota.com/

I mainly paint still life with fruits and flowers. What I put in a picture is the beauty of color with power that shines vividly with harmony and balance. Each motif has a solid presence. I aim to create an atmospheric world of color by depicting the light that seems to pour into the picture plane and the soft light that cloaks it like a veil. I want to draw pictures that draw you in and make you want to keep looking at them. Izumi Kawamoto blog http://decorativeartist.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/

I create works focusing on familiar animals and plants such as sparrows. I am attracted to their robust and lovely appearance in the changing seasons. I would like to create paintings that give us a sense of peace and tranquility so that we can stop and take a breath in the midst of our fast-paced modern lives.

Until today, the female figure has been depicted as a symbol of fruitfulness, beauty, faith, charity, truth, vanity, consumption…and so on. Among them, I aim to express the female image as a symbol of fruitfulness and birth. The symbol of birth is the beginning of everything, and is also a symbol of the cycle of birth, return, and birth again. In the image of a woman as such a symbol, I put the meaning of respect for life, in other words, respect for nature, strong longing, and the desire for self-projection.   Miku Niinomi  HP http://mikuniinomi.mystrikingly.com/

The theme that I express by copperplate engraving is “Small happiness”. I draw “the story of small life” by overlapping it with small animals, plants and flowers. I am healed and encouraged by the gestures and expressions of animals. They gently remind me that there are important things in the activities we repeat so naturally that we don’t even notice.
