Stay Awake (A-#40)

I am Hiroshi Kaki, an abstract painter from Oita Prefecture. My work focuses on the feelings and thoughts we experience when confronting phenomena found in nature—cycles, irregular patterns, and unpredictable movements. I prioritize the process, completing pieces while engaging in dialogue with natural forces like the way sunlight falls or water flows. Through my work, I hope to deepen our connection with nature, savor the flow of all things, and bring joy to everyday life. I would be happy if my pieces not only offer daily healing and vitality but also help viewers notice the subtle wonders within their ordinary routines. Nothing in particular.
