Making / Japanese painting / Nihonga / Rhapsody by Rachmaninov

Title: "Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini, Op.43, Variation 18" by Rachmaninov
(92,5x23cm; Mineral pigment, Mud pigment, Marble flour, Silver leaf and Gold leaf on the wooden board)
This work has two meanings.
First of all, I created this piece because I wanted to express the beautiful melody of this song. Even if you don't know the title of this song, I'm sure many of you have heard of it because the phrase of the song is very famous. Personally, I think it's really beautiful music, so I created this piece with beauty in mind.
Then, my solo exhibition will be held in March. On the first day, a concert will be held in collaboration with musicians. The black background of the work represents our spring night event, and the flowers express the beautiful music played by musicians. The kanji ``Kotobuki寿'' in the work means auspicious in Japanese. I used this kanji in my work to pray for the success of our event.
今回の作品には２つの意味が込められています。
まずは、この曲の美しいメロディーを表現したくて今回の作品を作りました。これの題名は知らなくても、曲のフレーズがとても有名なので聞いたことある方が多いと思います。とにかく美しい音楽だと個人的に思っているので、今回の私の作品も「美」を意識して制作しました。
それから、３月に個展を開催します。初日は音楽家の方達とのコラボレーションでコンサートも開かれます。作品の黒い背景は春の夜のイベントを表現し、音楽家の方たちが奏でる美しい音楽を花で表現しています。作品の中にある漢字「寿」は日本語でめでたい事を意味します。私たちのイベントの成功を祈念して、この漢字を作品に使いました。
