Grassland
Year: 2023
Medium: Oil paint, oil stick
Size: H1750 W1400 D45 mm
Location: Room 215
Work Commentary:
I created a single scene by juxtaposing characters inspired by picture books and other sources.
I painted them to flow across the canvas using bubble shapes reminiscent of comic speech bubbles and translucent colors.
I hope viewers will experience the colors while letting their thoughts wander through the story.
