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 is mostly covered in a desaturated gray. This gray, shaped like clouds, signifies that they are clouds. From between these gray shapes dominating the visual, a radiant yellow peeks through.

(Can you picture what's depicted in this painting? What's illustrated here is hope. Can you see it?

 

It's a visual of clouds, mostly rendered in gray. From the gaps in the shapes of the clouds leak brilliant yellow, blue, and a rainbow. In other words, the belief, the hope, that above the clouds there always spreads light, blue sky, and a rainbow, is being expressed here.

 

There might be times when our hearts are clouded over, and hope seems hard to see. But that might just be due to a narrow perspective. That's because, there is always light present above the clouds.

 

Hope is always there.)
