Oil Paintings
After I learned that the white gas (petroleum naphtha) which I used to remove wax for wax resist dying process is harmful to one’s health, I changed my medium to oil painting. I felt that leaving wax resist dying process was as if I were leaving from my root-Japan. These painting’ subjects indicate complex emotion of transition.
