The bold, energetic traces of palette knives and brushes are characteristic of the artist’s signature expressionist style, combining the artistry of traditional Japanese painting with the expressiveness of Western oil painting. This oil painting, centered on the chrysanthemum, employs the impasto technique, resulting in richly layered colors: Subject: The chrysanthemum is rendered in shades of purple, white, and yellow. Its layered petals are built up with thick, tactile impasto to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. Background: A cool-toned blue-grey background provides a striking contrast to the warm foreground, emphasizing the vitality of the chrysanthemum and exemplifying the artist’s signature expressionist style. The lower right corner bears the artist’s signature.
