It seems that the appearance of the buds of plants on a winter day is called "Fuyumoe". Like a small sprout preparing for the coming spring, a young child has a lot of energy hidden in their small body. The title is a combination of these images.
The work was modeled after my second son. It was so lovely to see him curled up like an egg on the sofa. The point is that the lines of sight intersect. I'm staring at it while thinking, "How cute!" And my son looks relaxed too. The mother and child staring at each other are depicted from the mother's point of view.

A mug with the motif of the Slovenian flag is a gift from the eldest son who is a national flag fanatic.
You might think this is weird but the view I like doesn't mean the view I want to paint. Therefore I don't paint views of Italy. The views of Italy are something that I admire. I like it, I paint it but I can't feel the depth in it. It makes me think about the reason to paint.
I always tend to come back to these feelings that I'd like to gaze at something really deep. Something near me, around me. Very personal and what is in my daily life. So I end up looking at things around me that are close by.
Since it became hard to go on a trip overseas, I am starting to see Japan more than before. In the near future, I'd like to paint them. Lately I've been thinking about the southern areas of Japan, especially Nagasaki, Kumamoto. I'd like to take my time and go around Japan.
