Miyazaki Suji, a nature lover, paints while he prays for everlasting life of the beautiful ocean. Sea turtles, which often make an appearance in his works, are a symbol of longevity in Japan and considered to be the messengers of gods of the ocean. His sea turtles invite the viewers into the deep blue world with the infinite transparency and the ocean illuminated by the sunlights full of hope. This bright yet deep blue known as Miyazaki-blue is given birth by layering over 20 layers of the medium he created using the classic technique. He lets Elysium where human beings and nature coexist emerge and deliver a hopeful light towards the sustainable and bright future to people’s hearts.
ネイチャーラバーでもあるみやざきすうじは、美しい海が永遠に存在することを祈って作品を描いる。彼の作品にたびたび登場するウミガメは、日本では長寿の象徴であり、海の神々の遣いとされる。彼のウミガメたちは、観る者を限りなく透明な青い世界、希望に満ちた陽光で照らされた海へと誘う。このみやざきブルーと呼ばれる明るく深い青は、彼が古典技法から生み出したオリジナルメディウムを20層以上の重ね塗りをすることで生まれる。彼はヒトと自然が共生するエリジウムを出現させ、人々の心に持続可能な明るい未来への光を届ける。
Suji Miyazaki was born in 1964 in Yamaguchi Japan and spent his childhood in a small village facing the Sea of Japan with his fisherman grandfather.
At the age of 16, he started oil painting. When he was 25, he was fascinated with the beautiful sea of Kerama islands in Okinawa and decided to paint on the theme of the sea. Since then, he has enthusiastically exhibited his artworks at Tokyo and Fukuoka. He is also a charter member of Salon international de Paris. He won many awards in Europe such as the Zacci prize at SIP in 2019 .
He is particular about the reproduction of Kerama blue which is the color of crystal clear seawater of Kerama islands. To express that color, he studied classical techniques before impressionist and developed completely new his own method. He pays attention to the details too. He draws fishes and corals with his smallest brushes, and all of them look as if they were alive and three-dimensional.
He creates the fantasy which is impossible but actually there.
It’s always a pleasure to see his works.
