I’m currently working on a series of vessels, but it seems like no one has noticed.

It’s a bit sad, isn’t it? But surprisingly, I’m okay with it!

I originally intended to finish around six pieces, but I ended up creating three complex works, so now I’m thinking about what to do with the remaining three pieces.

It seems that I don’t really connect with very small works. The smallest size I’ve done is F0, but I’ve painted quite a few of those already, and I’m feeling a bit tired of them.

I’ve thought about painting three pieces that connect together, but then there’s the issue of frames. Do I even need frames anymore? Lately, I’ve been wondering about that.

After all, I can’t really afford to buy them. Can’t buy, too expensive, can’t buy, too expensive—oh! Maybe I just don’t need them after all.

Anyway, here’s the piece I just finished!

油絵の、、 Oil painting

I have quite a few dislikes when it comes to oil painting! So, the question is, if I dislike it, why do I use it? Well, I do like it in some ways, but I really dislike the finish and the dullness of the colors. They seem faded and dark to me.

I think back in the era of religious paintings, the materials for painting were limited due to scarcity. Artists had to use various methods to finally achieve what we have now, and since then, paints that are bright and harmonized have continued to evolve. But when I look at paintings from a time when materials were hard to obtain, they can feel somewhat eerie, depending on the artist. The dullness can be frightening.

It’s like the portraits of Bach and Mozart that were hung in the elementary school music room, always smiling at you but in a creepy way. That’s not the kind of painting I want to create.

So what I’m doing is pioneering. I have a mentor who specializes in Japanese painting, while I paint with oils. When I visit contemporary art exhibitions, I can discover new oil paintings. However, I’m not at the level of being able to exhibit at these shows, so I’m just grateful to have people look at my work.

Pioneering can be tough. I sometimes feel that way because I’m alone. Not just alone, but solitary.

It’s not that I necessarily want a community, but my work is rough, so I have no choice but to assert my identity. Even so, I find myself in an environment where I can’t show any weakness, surrounded by family and others, and I really wish someone could help me.

But I’m doing my best to keep going.

I tried making a comic using AI, but I couldn’t think of anywhere to publish it… so I decided to post it here instead…
