Kiso Gogoku 8F (45.5 x 37.9cm) Written by Motoo Koizumi
This painting is an oil painting that captures a magnificent part of the Kiso Mountains.
In the painting, majestic mountains capped with white snow are seen towering towards the sky, as if they hold a timeless silence.
In the foreground, purple wildflowers and rolling hills of green foliage create a peaceful landscape of farmland, representing the symbiosis of people with nature.
The artist's use of color emphasizes the warmth and richness of nature, and evokes the cycle of life and the changing of the seasons. This work can be said to be a celebration of the splendor of Japan's climate and nature, as well as the lives of the people who live there .
