I used the picture I took when exploring a traditional Samurai street in Japan; and last week the first Lotus bloomed in the park near my home. The images worked on my mind as I created this symbolic image.
The original painting measures A2 with a 200 dpi resolution. Using the large number of brushes of Photoshop with various effects, brush stroke character and sizes, the images were actually painted using an limitless colour palette. Then the over 30 image elements were assembled.
Like a traditional painting I could not recreate again -- truly a creative product with unlimited potential.
We build structures. Live and work in them and love them. They are part of us. The time comes when they stand empty. The paint crumbles and weeds and bushes send their roots through the walls. Nature takes back.
