Curator's Comment

 

A painting that combines the loveliness of light colors with a mysterious story.

 

  • Imaginary interior scenes provide an entry point for everyone to view the work as if it were their own.
  • The spatial expression is characterized by a complex interplay of flatness and solidity.
  • A story created by the combination of cartoonish symbolism of the subject and the colors of watercolor
