Honorable Mention / 2021 / Nature / Flowers

Light

As a child I looked at the paintings of impressionists. In high school the first oil painting I copied was a Monet.In the light, I felt forms blend together and become ambiguous.

Born in Japan.Kiiro freely employs his deft command of painting techniques in order to create works that centre on a motif of flowers in their natural state. Cosmos flowers in particular have been the focus of his art for more than 10 years. Each of Kiiro's series provide a new angle on his themes of order, harmony and beauty -- original definitions of the word cosmos itself.

A photographer who uses painting and cyanotype techniques to explore the original meaning of the Cosmos: order, harmony, and beauty.
