This book features the masterful work of Shunei Nishida, a Japanese painter who believes that "painting is work". Nishida started out painting landscapes that capture the dense, humid climate of Japanese and European landscapes, contemporary flower and bird paintings, and even Borzoi dogs, but continues to take on a variety of subjects, including portraiture. The artist is guided by everything in the natural world and draws on the spirituality and universality of this realm from his deep connection with nature. His spatial expressions are backed by solid techniques, embracing things that cannot be seen with the naked eye and fantastical themes to express the pure beauty of existence.
