Makoto Takigawa

My inspirations arise from observations made while in natural surroundings.
My cultural background, where appreciation of nature is integrated in everyday life, combined with years of paleontological work further developed my sense of closeness with and ideas about nature.
I explore time's progression and endless movements of nature through my brush strokes and colors while focusing on the visceral aspects of imagery.
I hope to create images where the viewers experience their personal connection to nature through my paintings.
