Hazuki Tachibana's works are beautiful.
At first glance, her works appear to be traditional Japanese ink paintings, but they are all painted on canvas using oil and acrylic paints.
Artists searches for themes that interest them and then works on them.
Many artists create works in the hope that painting will help them adjust their relationship with the world.
Hazuki Tachibana is at an age when she is deeply concerned about issues such as how we should exist in this world.
Works created solely out of a strong desire to express oneself, to vent one's inner feelings, may appear powerful at first glance, but their appeal quickly fades.
This is because they have limited power to appeal to viewers, and their period of appreciation is short. Overcoming excessive self-love is important for artists.
A common characteristic of great artists throughout history is their interest in others.
And it is an attitude of constantly seeking to confirm how this world came to be and where one's place is within it.
We should remember that the theme Hazuki Tachibana set for herself upon graduating from Kyoto City University of Arts was how to share perceptions with others, reflecting her strong interest in others and the world.
Works created against this backdrop of strong interest, where faces that appear to be the same person are depicted in sizes ranging from large to small, arranged in a rhythmic sequence on a single canvas, evoke a mysterious and special sensation.
When one feels an inexplicable, unforgettable charm, it can be said that the work has already created a moment in the viewer's life.
