Nice to meet you I am Kohei Omae, a painter.

I started producing and studying paintings by myself in 2017.

 

Flowers and forests  Familiar scenes and people... I am influenced by various things  I am making the most of myself.

And they give me healing, learning  wisdom and awareness.

As I felt from there, I sublimated that moment into art, not letters or words.

That's JOY and HAPPINESS for me

Also, for me, painting is all about experimentation.

Just try to draw whatever you want and feel.

You won't know until you try It won't start Try it first

There are many things you can discover while doing it.

While repeating such experiments,

"One day, a flower bloomed on a blank canvas."

That's how the Flower Series was born.

For me, my atelier and gallery are my own laboratory, a very luxurious space.

I want to share what moved me

What I drew today might become a ``letter to the future 100 years from now.''

With that in mind, I create art.

I hope you enjoy watching it.
