寂野
Pigment on canvas
100 cm x 140 cm (39 inches x 55 inches)

寂野 (Jakuno) - Japanese for lonely field - is a large, meditative abstract painting that hovers between landscape and pure atmosphere. A deep, almost black band anchors the lower edge of the canvas, above which muted green-brown tones dissolve into a soft, distant haze. The suggestion of a low horizon and blurred forms evokes a field seen through mist, or a memory of a place slowly fading.

The work is built with many thin washes of phthalo green, cobalt green and raw umber pigments, allowing the colours to sink into the weave of the canvas. Subtle overlaps, tonal shifts and faint irregularities remain visible on the surface. These small imperfections, together with the quiet gradation of value, reflect a wabi-sabi sensibility: an appreciation of patina, emptiness and the calm beauty of things that feel weathered and transient.

From a distance, the painting reads as a serene, nearly monochrome landscape; viewed up close, it reveals fine textures, soft edges and delicate variations in colour. The composition is intentionally understated and open, inviting slow looking and contemplation rather than narrative.
