I reached out
to Japanese artist
on more than one occasion
to do a feature story,
but to no avail.
Despite not getting
the interview that I wanted,
I still wanted
to educate the masses
on the incredible paintings
by this well-received artist
residing in Kyoto.
Although I can't read
any of the content
on their Twitter account,
I still loyally follow
(no Instagram)
and am dazzled by paintings
of surreal, magical,
traditional yet modern
imagery that's so unique
that it remains floating
within its own realm.
Enjoy the images throughout
this article
and check out Yoriyuki's website
called Sad Night
if/when your eyes
need more shine.
On top of original paintings
found on the personal account,
Yoriyuki has also designed
album covers and is planning
a solo art event
called Petals
from March 2 - March 5.
