What do you imagine from the word “Blue”?
In a space filled with a soothing and relaxing blue, there are no conflicts or desires.
All we find there is beautiful light and tranquility.
This time, I captured my favorite hues of blue
I hope that the “World of Blue” I poured onto this small canvas will heal someone’s heart.
Which one of them is your favorite “Blue”?
“Air” - The air fills up and becomes blue. There is hope for a life together in the sky with its dazzling light.
“Aqua” - The blue of deep rich water. There is compassion in the sea where light shimmers.
“Space” - The blue of the unknown. The space where light extends shows us hope for the future.
The messages we must not forget are everywhere. I hope that ours will be a world where people can coexist. May the blue message reach you.
Yoko Kitazaki was born in Kyoto and learned oil painting from an early age. She loved the layered colors of “Water Lilies” by Monet and wanted to express the changing light. Having majored in dyeing at Kyoto City University of Arts, she still takes inspirations for her expression from Monet’s colors and the dyeing design.
Currently, she is working on acrylic abstract paintings. Exhibiting her works mainly at the international exhibitions by Italian artists’ groups, she also takes part in exhibitions in New York and Paris.
Duality is always rooted in the themes of her production which contains the message of “Seeing the whole phenomenon from the viewpoint of the mind.” As a feature of her work, she adds transitions such as “movement, flow, luster, lumps, and cracks” to the smooth paints. This can be viewed as magic the artist makes.
