ジョヴァンニ・ベリーニ晩年の作品「聖母子」はとても小さな絵だが、私に大きなインスピレーションを与えた。1990 年代後半は、イタリア絵画の古典的な美への憧憬が一層強まり、ベリーニや、ジオットーの作品を一部模写して自身の風景画と連ね組み合わせた。背景も色も全く異なるものを同レベルに並べ、絵画として響きあうものを探る試みだった。

 

Giovanni Bellini’s late work “Madonna and Child” is a very small painting, but it has been a great inspiration for me. In the late 1990s, my admiration for the classical beauty of Italian painting grew stronger, and I copied some of Bellini’s and Giotto’s works and combined them with my own landscapes. This was an attempt to find a way to put works with completely different backgrounds and colors on the same level, and to find something that resonated with the viewer as a painting.
