Raou Tanaka-Fading Life-

Life achieves harmony by blending individual characteristics, and harmony is born from the parts that do not fully blend.

Using acrylic paints and ink, which blend beautifully, I have expressed the "Fading Life" of animals and plants.

I believe that a "good painting" is one with high realism. However, that does not necessarily mean it is a "good painting." If realism were everything, nothing would surpass a photograph.

To me, a "good painting" is one that stimulates the viewer's imagination. By being stimulated, people can expand their own world. I am also someone who has nurtured my imagination through paintings. Therefore, I hope that my works can ignite someone's imagination—this is my daily creative endeavor.
