The subject of this painting is a plant called Schefflera trinetti. It is a houseplant that is placed in the living room of the artist's home and, like the previously painted "Limebush", is always seen every day. The artist was attracted by the beauty of the palmately lobed leaves and the artistic value of the yellow-veined leaves.
About the technique.
This work is influenced by the pointillism technique advocated by Seurat in the 1880s. He is fascinated by this technique, which gives an impression that is both intellectual and coldly mechanical, and is hard to forget once seen. By juxtaposing acrylic painting materials in dots on the canvas with a thin brush tip without mixing colors, and by mixing colors on the viewer's retina, he aims to create an expression that is complete in the sense of sight. I try to express black (shadow) without using black, and white (light) without using white.
