The imagery of blossoming plum trees echoes the artwork’s focus on delicate beauty and transience — a core principle of Japanese visual culture.

The composition is built around turquoise tones enriched with subtle gold accents, creating a quiet dialogue between movement and stillness.

Inspired by traditional Japanese aesthetics and seasonal symbolism, the artwork reflects themes of connection, intimacy, and the fleeting nature of beauty. The layered surface and glossy finish allow the painting to change subtly with light, revealing new details from different angles.

Designed as a statement piece, this triptych becomes a focal point on large walls and contemporary interiors.

Curatorial Note / Museum Essay (for collectors and interior designers) — J172

J172 — Fuji, Sun, Wave

In J172, the timeless forces of nature—the towering presence of Mount Fuji, the radiant sun, and the undulating spirit of the great wave—are distilled into a visual poem. This work draws inspiration from the enduring legacy of Japanese aesthetics, recalling the rhythmic power of The Great Wave by Katsushika Hokusai while transforming it through a contemporary lens. Here, the sculptural sweep of stylized waves collides with the calm dignity of the mountain’s silhouette, inviting a contemplative dialogue between motion and stillness.

The palette of oceanic blues and warm dawn tones underscores a harmonious balance between dynamism and serenity, echoing the traditional reverence for natural cycles. Like the best of abstract expression, the work does not illustrate a specific scene but evokes the memory and myth of sea and sky, of eternal presence and fleeting gesture. Through layered surfaces and fluid shapes, J172 becomes both a homage to cultural lineage and a fresh testament to the artist’s expressive voice.

As an interior decorator, J172 is more than an accent—it is an experiential anchor. In minimalist spaces, its rhythmic crescendos animate silence and scale; in modern rooms with natural materials, it complements wood grain and soft textiles with elemental resonance. Placed against a neutral wall, the piece commands attention, creating a locus of calm energy that enhances spatial flow and emotional impact. J172 invites viewers not merely to look, but to feel the horizon, the swell, and the rising sun within the sanctuary of contemporary interiors.
