About the Artwork
The Japanese title of this piece,"Kakuen" means shining brightly red. This is a man from the ancient Chinese Tang era (618 - 907) standing straight with a dignified look. He is standing among the sunset in the desert looking into the distance with a strong will to challenge what is to come in his future. I tried to express his feelings in his red clothes with patterns of flames, his cape and clothes underneath with patterns of coconut trees and camels drawn with platinum paint and polished, and the golden raised patterns in his gold crown.
