四季 (Shiki) - Japanese for the four seasons - is a large abstract painting that moves through a quiet spectrum of colour, from deep, muted greens at the top to warm ochres and browns at the base. The transitions between these bands are soft and gradual, suggesting shifting light over a landscape, a field moving from fresh spring green into the golden tones of late summer, or a horizon where changing weather slowly passes through.

The surface is built with many thin, diluted layers of cobalt green, burnt umber and yellow ochre, allowing the pigments to sink into the weave of the canvas rather than sit as a heavy skin on top. Faint overlaps, small irregularities and subtle streaks remain visible, recording the flow of water and the movement of the brush. These traces of process reflect a wabi-sabi sensibility: beauty in transience, in imperfect edges and in the way colour gently fades from one state into another.

From a distance, 四季 reads as a calm, luminous field of greens and golds, viewed up close, it reveals fine granular textures and delicate tonal shifts that invite slow, contemplative looking. The painting brings a grounded yet vibrant presence to the space, echoing the quiet, cyclical changes of the natural world.
