Greetings to you all.
I am Tadashi-NISHIMORI.
In Japan, “RED” is not merely a single color but a word that signifies different hues.
赤 (red), 紅 (crimson), 朱 (vermilion), 緋 (scarlet), and 赫 (ruby).
The color also symbolizes good fortune when placed together with white.
The red I rendered in my oil paint this time was a “festive red.”
I encourage you to carry on with your eyes fixed ahead.
There should be a lot to celebrate in this world.

Tadashi-NISHIMORI was born in Nara prefecture. He was raised on sacred land and learned gods are everywhere around him. As if conversing with the gods around him, he started drawing when he was little.
Like giggling, he relaxes and looks at the beautiful and inspirational shapes around him.
He draws using acrylics, oil paints, watercolor colored pencils, and so on on canvases, boards, or watercolor papers. His paintings feature landscapes, still life, and snapshots.
From 1993-1997, he studied oil painting at a vocational school. Without entering art college, he moved to Tokyo. From 1997-2004, he held a group exhibition every year. From 1999-2007, he engaged in drawing magazine illustrations and wholesaling his hand-drawn t-shirts. He has been expanding the field of his artistic activity overseas since 2020, participating in JCAT online exhibitions.
