Author's comment

It may be obvious, but I want to continue thinking about the elements of each painting in my own way, such as the quality of the paint, the touch, and the motif.

Judge's review

The restrained colors and gradation of strokes evoke visual pleasure. It looks like a landscape I've seen somewhere, but it also looks like an abstract form that follows certain rules. There may be another unique, unexplored area between concreteness and abstraction. I thought it was very interesting. (Naoki Sato)
