MAKOTO OJI

SOLO EXHIBITION

‘‘My work often centres on subjects that evoke a sense of life, such as flowers and fruits. Through careful observation and realist painting, I seek to translate these forms onto the pictorial surface. For me, this process is both an expression of reverence for life and a quiet celebration of its presence. Alongside contemporary materials such as watercolour and oil pastel, I am also drawn to historical techniques like fresco and tempera. Through this dialogue between traditional methods and modern materials, I continue to explore a personal approach to realist expression.’’
