作品説明:
私が２０〜３０代に何作か描いていた水面に浮かぶ落ち葉シリーズを
スコットランドの落ち葉で描いてみました。
水面に落ち、太陽の光が当たって浮かんでいる葉と沈みゆく葉、そして水底に沈んだ葉。
私はそこにミレーの『オフィーリア』を感じました。
楓の葉柄の赤が印象的です。
In this series, I revisited a theme from my earlier years as an artist—the serene dance of fallen leaves on water. Now, using leaves collected from the Scottish landscape, I capture their journey: some float on the surface, bathed in sunlight, while others gradually sink to the depths. Among these leaves, I see echoes of Millet’s “Ophelia,” where nature and emotion intertwine. The vivid red stems of maple leaves stand out, drawing the eye and emphasizing the fleeting beauty of autumn. This work aims to blend the transient nature of fallen leaves with the enduring spirit of the place they come from.
