FLOWERS & COLORS
TIMELESS BEAUTY

PAINTING for
FLOWERS

My floral creations express the inner radiance. As an integral part of this artistic worldview, I personally handle the background painting as well.

The flowers appear to change, influenced by the colors of the painting.

The variations in background colors further enhance the beauty and potential of the flowers' colors, allowing for a diverse and rich visual experience.

HISTORY of COLORS

The effect of colors appearing to change due to the influence of other colors was discovered by scientist Chevreul in 1839.

At that time, Chevreul, who was overseeing a Gobelins tapestry workshop, received complaints even when using the correct colors. Through his research, he found that colors are influenced by neighboring colors and published his findings in a book titled "The Law of Simultaneous Contrast of Colors."

This discovery later had a significant impact on the color techniques used by Impressionist painters, who pursued the depiction of light.

LIGHTS & FLOWERS

Throughout the day, as the sun rises and sets, the changing light creates different impressions of the same scene. The variations in the background can unexpectedly alter the perception of the flowers. Additionally, viewing the flowers with different background colors in sequence allows us to sense the passage and flow of time and the transitions that occur over it.
