marble" is a painting using photographs, created using the artist's original "photo marbling" technique. At first glance, the work appears to be a painting, but the photographs are everywhere, indicating that it is not a painting made with paints. The work is painted entirely digitally, without the use of paint, and by mixing multiple photographs together, a new world is created. Each photo is distorted, split, inverted, and even multiplied. Unlike so-called composite photographs or collages, each photograph is mixed and matched to form a single picture, acting as a single paint. In other words, anything that can be photographed with a camera can be used as material for a picture, so the possibilities for color tone expression are endless. Please come and see for yourself whether this is a painting or a photographic work of art, the only one of its kind in the world.

“marble”

The work is characterized by the fact that the artist mixes multiple photographs until he is satisfied with the result, creating a new world. By mixing, each photograph is distorted, split, inverted, or even increased. Unlike so-called composite photographs or collages, this work is similar to the act of mixing paints. Each photograph is like a painting, and by mixing them on the canvas, they are intricately intertwined into a new photographic expression.
