Artist Statement

Sounds connects my hearing and sight, and it also paints my mind colorfully. I want to make viewers feel as if they were listening to music.

My work Based Mozart music, If Mozart composed to link the terrestrial world to the celestial world, then I undertake to propagate it with my painting. If Beethoven composed to surpass philosophy,then I undertake to give them a shape with my paintings. J・S・Bach is the old testament Bible of the classical music.

"The legend of Mermaid Syrence"

Therefore, it is quite worn out. Apparently, as the Mermaid is partially a fish, he can fulfill one

wish of the person who will take her by the chest.

A poor widow of a fisherman once lived in old Ustka. Her son, wanting to help his family

financially, planned a long journey by boat to catch.His mother prepared him as best she I

was crying, I was crying, I had a good time by sea. She had been looking for a good deal. I

wasnt despair, gradually losing sight Paralyzed by fear for her son, a woman with a good

heart, she could not work.

A beautiful mermaid, Bryzga Rosowa, watched the situation from hiding. Leaning from the

coastal waves, she helped the mother of a sailor who suffered a lot. Every day she threw her

salmon ashore and her liver was used to rub her eyes. distraught mother regained her vision

in both eyes. Soon, she saw a ship approaching the Ustka port: she saw a longing son on

board, full of strength and health with a rich catch. They did not lack anything until the end of

their lives.
