الجمــــــــال العظيــــــــم يئسرنـــــــــي .. ولكن الجمــــــال الاعظـــــــم .. يحررنــــــــي مــــــن اســـــــــر ذاتـــــه. ______جبران خليل جبران _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ __ _ _ _ _ _ _ Realism in watercolor From Japan Abe Toshiyuki was born in Sakata City, Japan, in 1959. He studied art education at a national university, and worked for about 20 years as an art teacher after graduating. Abe Toshiyuki tells us, “It has been my life-long ambition to become a painter, so in 2008 I gave up teaching to focus on that dream. I am currently active as a painter and have held many solo exhibitions here in Japan, of which I have won a few prestigious awards for.” My work tends to focus on the finer points of nature that surround us. Japanese people have always held a deep love and respect for nature, and I find that this is reflected not only in famous Japanese artworks, but also in Japanese literature. Through their descriptions of scenes such as the transience of a river, and the fragility of petals on a cherry blossom, I find that these famous artists are able to implicitly express the idea of inevitable change extraordinarily well. In addition, I believe that my watercolors are able to capture the essence of these artists in a meaningful way.
