Nashīnasu ナシーナス
Rooted in storytelling, my artistic practice draws inspiration from past experiences, timeless images of popular culture, and abstract representations of emotions. While I explore various mediums like pastels and photography, my focus lies in acrylic and oil paintings, as well as graphite pencil sketches, often applied to canvas, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), and paper. Navigating diverse mediums, from the gentle caress of pastels to the stark realism of photography, my true expression finds its home within the realm of acrylic and oil paintings, guided by the meticulous precision of graphite. Each stroke, each shade, meticulously placed upon canvas, medium-density fibreboard, and paper, unveils the profound mysteries of our universe. My distinctive style bears witness to a rich tapestry of influences—from the captivating allure of anime and manga to the enchanting vistas of Disney and Studio Ghibli. It is a narrative that dances between reality and surrealism, influenced by artists including Hayao Miyazaki, Salvador Dali, and Stephen Wiltshire.
Yet within the layers of color and form lies a deeper exploration of the human experience. Each creation reflects my evolution—a journey through memory, passion, and curiosity. Inspired by the polka dots artworks of Yayoi Kusama, I infuse my compositions with ethereal light particles, inviting viewers to ponder the enigmatic interplay of shadow and illumination. In a world balanced between the tangible and the intangible, my art urges us to confront the mysteries that lie beyond—to question, to marvel, and to seek the profound truths hidden within ourselves.
