About the Artist

Keigo Nakamura

Keigo Nakamura

Minimalism

Keigo Nakamura is an artist born with a minimalist lifestyle, featuring small-scale works. With mature oil painting techniques influenced by 17th century French Baroque, he is pursuing values that are being lost in a fast modern society.

The composition of the picture centered on the light and shadow of the candle is inspired by the candlelight religious paintings painted by the 17th-century French painter "George de la Tour". The technique of arranging toys for indirect expression was inspired by "Sandplay Therapy" devised by the 20th century Swiss Jungian psychologist "Dora Calf". It is used as a means to symbolically express the inner world and complex concepts that are difficult to express in words.
