The ideas for my paintings come from my subconscious mind. I just sit and draw, and the ideas appear on the paper. So I don't decide what the pictures mean.
In fact I like to make pictures whose meaning isn't clear. I want my pictures to be ambiguous. They can mean anything you want them to mean.
中略 (ここは、題名についてのトピックの方に転記しています。)
In English (maybe Japanese too) we say 'a picture is worth a thousand words', in other words you can explain in one simple picture something that would need many written words to explain it.
Attached to this email is a new painting that I don't think has been on my website.
It's called 'Whirlpool' (渦中). (原文のまま) Maybe it's about all the economic problems the world seems to be having at the moment!
