About 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.

About the Process
My inspirations arise from observations made while in natural surroundings.
I usually have certain images or color schemes in mind before I start a painting. But soon after I begin, my intuition takes over and becomes its own process. Also I tend to focus on the visceral aspect of the imagery.
Even though my work is a very personal interpretation of the subject, having mostly abstract style can open up a kind of conversation between between viewer and I. It is as though I start telling the story and the viewers decide how to end it or keep creating their own story.
I hope to create images where the viewers experience their personal connection to nature.
