Until now, paintings have determined various elements such as location, color, shape, composition, size, material, medium, technique, sensibility, originality, and so on, imposing (compelling) these upon the viewer.

 

The viewer has no choice but to accept them. In other words, when an artist expresses a painting in a specific form, it inevitably creates constraints and a lack of freedom for the viewer.

 

I believe the painting closest to freedom is one where colors, shapes, expressions, and such are akin to something being generated within the brain of each individual viewer. Paintings should be reborn as something imagined and created within one's own head. If such a painting existed, it could liberate viewers from these constraints and a lack of freedom.

 

This is a new form of painting. This painting liberates viewers from constraints and a lack of freedom, making paintings that are bound to conventional forms a thing of the past.

 

Imagine this.

Many people around the world picture that Mona Lisa in their minds, right? Most individuals would probably visualize roughly the same image. But this new painting is different. This new painting allows people around the world, across time and space, to conjure up their own individual images within their heads.

 

The bare minimum necessary idea for expression (the minimal constraint) is given, but without it, there would be no expression. From this idea as a starting point, each individual imagines and creates in their own colors, shapes, expressions, and interpretations.

A visual rendered in two colors: blue and white. The white sections take on the shape of clouds. From this, it can be understood that they represent white clouds floating in a blue sky. There is a silhouette of a single white bird flying within this scene. Its eye is shaped like a fried egg, rendered in blue and white. Upon closer observation, countless white and blue patterns, shaped like fried eggs, are also depicted in the blue part of the background (the sky).

(Can you imagine what is depicted in this painting? It's filled with a multitude of happiness. Can you see it?

 

Do you know the story of the blue bird? The blue bird is generally regarded as a symbol of happiness.

 

This painting represents a sky painted in blue and white and a single white bird flying across it. At first glance, it may seem to be just that, but in reality, all over the blue portion of the background (the sky) is teeming with countless blue birds (happiness) that blend in so well that only their eyes are visible.

 

We tend to lose sight of happiness in our daily lives. But it's just that we don't realize, in fact, happiness is spread out in abundance right before our eyes. If you look closely, it should be visible to you too.

 

But what you imagine and how you interpret it, that's up to you. What you choose to depict there, it's all entirely up to you.)
