About "beauty"

One cut from the video “Cafe no Sweet Pea”：(This moment is fun)

when are you、What do you find beautiful? Objects that feel beauty are other than things like art.、For example, things like landscapes, of course、human face、facial expressions or voice itself、actions, not things、Or even mathematics and chemical formulas.、It's no wonder that everything becomes a target.。There are some people who perceive beauty in objects that many people find ugly.。

Do animals other than humans also feel beauty?。Looking at the courtship behavior and decorative feathers of birds、I feel like maybe there is such a feeling.。Modern humans and Neanderthals are said to have coexisted for some time.。But then Neanderthals became extinct.。What was the cause of their extinction and the continuation of modern humans?。

Wasn't it the concept of "beauty"?、There seems to be a hypothesis that。"Beauty" is for many people、It is thought that it is not necessarily an essential concept for living.。In modern times, ``beauty overrides reality.''、In fact, I feel like I won't even be able to survive.、How did it save humanity from extinction?。
The hypothesis was inspired by the "discovery of beautiful seashells"。。far away from the sea、Moreover, it has little value in terms of food.、A small and beautiful seashell、Although many remains of modern humans have been excavated,、None found in nearby Neanderthals。Why is that?、That's what it means。
Everyone has a certain kind of “impression” even though it is unnecessary.。everyone wants to taste it。It can certainly be called the concept of "beauty".。those who have it and those who don't、Eventually, "symbolism" was born there.、Those with “beauty” win authority.、There is a hierarchical relationship、Isn't this because it eventually led to the creation of a social structure?。Oh dear、That's what the hypothesis is all about.。

“Not essential for survival”? Is it true? About the “beauty” that exists now、If you strip away all the things mentioned above,、What kind of world do you see?。yes、The world now exposed by the Ukraine war、For example, isn't this the current situation in Bahmut, which is said to be a fierce battleground?。Is that landscape the result of pursuing something “essential”?。
When you say “beauty” out loud、There's some sort of antipathy somewhere in my heart.、"world、At the same time, I heard a loud voice saying, ``We can't just do pretty things.''、I'm a little hesitant to say it.。But, after all、When you lose the desire to seek it、People will have no choice but war、I feel like that。The desire for beauty is barely stopping the war.、I feel that danger。"Things we really need to survive"。When you quietly look into your heart、I feel like it's starting to look vague.。

It might be a little fun

Sweet pea on the table (watercolor, just before completion)

This is the one I want you to see.。5/25The motif is one of the three photos used in the blog ``Stressless Pictures''、I tried making a new prototype, what do you think?。2It's my second one so I'm getting used to it a little.、Painting flowers under artificial lighting、I felt that the intention of the production was becoming clearer.。

I have never drawn flowers under such indoor lighting.、If you actually draw in that lighting、You probably won't be able to control the color。It's also a motif that can only be drawn through photography.。

Another aim is、The idea is to depict small flowers clustered together.。Both white flowers and purple ones、I can't see a single complete flower shape.。There are many flowers and scenes that are clustered together like this.、It is also a practice for drawing it.。

I haven't drawn the type of lighting that hangs from the ceiling yet.、I'm going to paint it by mixing white paint.。In the previous work, masking was used。I have such technical interests as well.、I am enjoying the free (though still insufficient) brushstrokes themselves.。

painting imagination

From the video being edited

Let's say you're a painter。How often do you draw?。I don't usually draw, but、People who always take a small sketchbook with them when they travel。People who draw flowers, pets, etc. at least once a month。About once every year or several years、A person who draws about 10 pictures at a time when he gets excited.。Attending painting classes and courses、People who draw regularly、I'm sure there are many different painting lives.。

Even if I can never draw with 100% satisfaction、More than half of 50%、You will be satisfied with the drawing itself.。But not only that、For example, a sketch from a trip、Even if the time is up and it remains unfinished、Every time I look at it, even the events before and after it spring up in my memory.、It's also like creating your own magic box.。I'm sure every time you open that lid too、I'm sure you've secretly enjoyed something that more than made up for the rest of your dissatisfaction.。
　Such sketches (not limited to those taken while traveling)、Don't you feel like it's a bit of a waste to keep it only in a box? Maybe、Maybe those sketches want to go out more often.。

Leave the sketch as is、You've probably already had the experience of redrawing something new and larger.。And I said, ``I guess it has to be on-site after all.''、You might have just rolled it up and shoved it somewhere.。In a sense, that's natural.。
In one picture/sketches、Each piece is imbued with the imagination of a painting.。“Reusing” the same imagination is、The painting itself is "rejecting"。The painting is asking you to “make it your own.”。you have to respond to it。How can I respond?、It's a bit of pressure, isn't it?。

Let me give you a hint。① Do not change the motif (subject) ② Take another look inside the “magic box”。I'm sure you'll find something important. ③ Don't look at it as an object.、For example, try expressing it with "color".。When sketching, you often only see things.。The thing is still a pupa。connected to something in your own memory、For the first time, it becomes imagination.。feathers grow、You will be able to fly.。The magic box is also a ``miracle box.''。
