Dragon painting is one of the common themes in Yasunori Kimata’s work which has powerful and spiritual meanings in Japanese culture. Dragons are much more than just fire-breathing gigantic creatures with huge wings. The Japanese dragon represents the universe’s spiritual essence, which it uses to regulate the movement of the winds, rains, and planets, also dragons associate with courage, independence, strength, and magic.
They also have different meanings according to their colors; black dragons are associated with wisdom and experience, green dragons are associated with nature, the gold dragons represent value and many other virtues, while the blue is kind, gentle, and forgiving. Also, the white-yellow dragons stand out for their royalty. We can easily see that the dragon figure stands out in the works of Yasunori Kimata, who generally uses animals in his paintings.
Toronto based German-Brazilian painter Jeanine Brito’s paintings are often inspired by her recollections, but they revive on the canvases with a theatrical and surreal touch, while discussing the fragility of memories, and how they turn into merely a feeling when the details fade.
Inspiration Farmer is a collection of artists and designers we discovered recently. We are inspired by their work and decided to make a weekly collection.
