Your life can still shine with even more light.
命はひとつの生だけで完結せず、歴代の魂のバトンを受け取りながら、今ここに息づいている。その記憶を背景に、まだ発揮していない魂の力を呼び覚まし、もう一段上の光を放ちたいと願うすべての方へ描いた一枚です。
作品に込めた想い
あなたはすでに持っている。恐れず光を放ちなさい。その命は大きな流れの中で守られている――作品全体に流れる深い肯定の波動は、このメッセージを視覚化したものです。
Concept & Background
ブルー、グリーン、桜色、金のニュアンスが溶け合い、魂の継承、生命エネルギーの循環、血流のような命の脈動、そして再誕と覚醒の瞬間を象徴しています。
Technique, Color & Expression
複数のレイヤーを重ねることで、海の深層のような時空の壮大さと、血流のような生命の動きを同時に表現しました。ブルーとグリーンは内なる海を、桜色は生命の誕生や記憶を、金は魂が持つ尊厳と継承の光を示しています。色が溶け合うことで、ひとつの命に多次元的なエネルギーが同時に存在していることを描き出しました。
制作にあたって
人が生きる上で最も大切な内側の炎、Inner Flareを思い出してほしいと願いながら制作しました。外側の評価ではなく、自分の命そのものが持つ光へ立ち返ること。その光を恐れずに放つこと。
作品に触れた方が、自分の中に眠るエネルギーが再び巡り始める感覚を得られますように。
同じ作品を再びお届けすることはできませんが、パーソナルオーダーアートでは、お一人おひとりとの対話を通して、あなただけの一枚を描かせていただきます。Usage of Artwork
More about this painting
The word "flare"
The "flare" in the title "Inner Flare" is an English word for a flame that suddenly blazes up, or a flickering light. The great explosions on the sun's surface are also called "solar flares."
In this painting I depicted the light of life that wells up from within and sometimes blazes up.
The "sea" within us
The blue and green of this painting represent an inner sea.
Most of the human body is water — in adults, roughly 60 percent of body weight. Perhaps our blood and tears taste a little salty because we carry something like a small sea inside us.
About 70 percent of the Earth's surface is covered by ocean. The deep sea is a quiet world where sunlight barely reaches. I painted the many layers of this work while sensing the vastness of time and space, like that deep ocean.
What water does for the heart
Many people feel calmer near the sea, a river or a lake.
In Europe, such waterside environments are called "blue space," and research on their relationship with health has advanced. Studies including those by the University of Exeter in the UK have reported that people who live closer to the coast tend to rate their own health as better.
The American marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols named the calm, contented state of mind we feel near water "Blue Mind" in his book of the same name (2014).
A quiet sea and a burning flame
In this painting, within the blue and green sea, I layered cherry-blossom pink for the birth and memory of life, and gold for the dignity of the soul. A quiet sea and a flame burning within — opposites at first glance, both are forms of life.
Deep in a calm heart, a light is still burning. I hope that whenever you see this painting, you feel the sea and the flame within you.
