This painting depicts my favorite dancer, Yako. It captures a momentary movement of Yako, who dances gracefully and daintily, with full awareness of every detail of her body. The monochrome painting may give the impression of a photograph, but up close, you can see the matiere (thickness) unique to oil painting. The artist's paintings are so realistic that you can feel the dynamism of the muscles and the atmosphere that spreads in the space. The blue paint, which looks as if it has been splattered, is layered in different layers, giving a synergistic effect to the painting.
