Kodama - 145 × 145 cm / 57.1 × 57.1 in
I painted this work the way you enter a forest. Without knowing what you’ll find.
Kodama is a large original painting — 145 × 145 cm — on pure natural linen. Deep forest green, layered branches, petals that seem to hold their own light. And one rose, small and almost hidden. It appears in every painting I make. It is my mark.
I work exclusively with a palette knife. No sketches, no plan — only a direction. Where the branch goes, where the light lands — that is not mine to decide. This is what painting means to me: I set the tone, but the work finds its own way.
Kodama is a Japanese word for the spirits of old trees. Quiet, invisible, living inside. That is the feeling I was after: something alive within the green. Something that was there before you.
