The exhibition venue and the way the works were presented were great,
and I was drawn into the world of each piece of art.
When I try to put it into words, it felt like I was "meditating,"
a mysterious feeling, yet it was comfortable.
"Ceremony" is a piece
It seems like a wonderful encounter awaits.
"Maktub" is a piece
I could look at it forever.
★Who would you recommend this to?
I would love for many people to experience this space.

Each piece has a story and deep meaning,
which made me reflect deeply.
The ideas in my head were translated into a single painting,
and I was deeply impressed by this expression.
The negative aspects, such as inner conflicts that everyone has felt,
were expressed,
and there were many works that I could strongly relate to.
By viewing them from a different perspective,
I felt that even things that seemed negative could turn into positives
when looking at the paintings.
★Who would you recommend this to?
Because the works tell a story and I think many people can relate to them,
I would recommend them to everyone.

Each work expresses the feelings of the artist during a specific period, the circumstances they were in, and their emotions in those situations, which I found very interesting.
Especially the works that depict negative emotions of the artist, although the content is busy, it felt like a treasure hunt, which was fun.
It was like, "Oh, there's xxx here," or "I wonder what this represents?"
My favorite work is "Abyss".
The expression, the colors, the balance of the painting,
and even the cat — I love it all.
★Who would you recommend this to?
I believe this artist strongly conveys messages through both good and bad emotions, so I would recommend it to those who focus on the artist's story.

I was impressed by how many paintings featured animals.
I could imagine that these were paintings created during times of struggle,
and others likely painted during brighter moments.
It was fun to watch, imagining the artist's emotions.
Personally, I like "Conflict".
★Who would you recommend this to?
People who want to take their time thinking in a quiet space,
and people who love art.

I previously visited a gallery in Ginza, and since then,
my favorite work has been "Sleepwalk".
Just like the title suggests, I love how it feels like something that came out of a dream,
almost like a captured moment.
Kota-san's works are, in a good way, very human-like,
and I often find myself thinking, "I wonder if I felt this way at that time?"
★Who would you recommend this to?
People who love nature, the Earth, and travel.

It makes me feel kind. I couldn't help but smile.
I was drawn in. Beautiful. The lines and colors are soothing.
It was fun to look at. Is human conflict something that can be enjoyable from the outside?
Like insects gathering around light,
I found myself stopping in front of this painting.
With everything going on right now, this light has saved me.
All the paintings spoke to me,
and I could have looked at them forever.
I especially liked these four works.
It made me think, "Art is wonderful."
I've decided to start doing it myself.
★Who would you recommend this to?
I believe art is all about encounters,
so I would like many people to see it.

The dragon motif particularly caught my attention.
I was born in the year of the dragon...
The coexistence of nature and humans will continue to be an increasingly important theme,
and at times, it will be a challenging task requiring great effort.
I was reminded once again to do what I can, even if it's little by little.
I hope many people will come into contact with this art that brings such warmth.
★Who would you recommend this to?
People who nurture something. People who don't...
Ultimately, I would recommend it to everyone.

I thought the colors were very beautiful.
Each piece has its own meaning, and I felt that a lot of thought went into creating the works.

The exhibition space was also a very lovely place,
calm and peaceful, and I was happy to learn that the workspace was transformed into a café.
★Who would you recommend this to?
I think this is an exhibition that could be recommended to anyone.
I hope many people from different genres can get to know it.

I didn't have enough time to read everything on my smartphone,
so I think I would have been able to understand the various works better if I could have read them directly.
The works expressed using pens, watercolors, and other mediums on white paper
were pure and transparent, and the colors were pleasing,
which made them enjoyable and easy to accept.
I particularly liked the paintings of two fish and "Resound",
I would have liked to take them home.
In contrast, "Identity"
resonated with my own feelings,
and amidst the complexity and confusion of the human condition today, I felt a sense of shared understanding.
★Who would you recommend this to?
To my friends.
