Group 20P (72.7 x 53cm) by Matabee Goto

In the painting, the moon and shooting stars shine in the night sky, and birds are perched freely in cages. The birds are unique creatures with their grey backs, orange bellies, and green backs.

On the right side of the painting, a vase of blooming flowers creates a beautiful balance and contrast with the dull green background.

This work expresses the artist's desire for peace and will leave a deep impression on the viewer through its harmony with the natural world and the contrast between freedom and constraint in life.
