More than two years has passed since I stoped oilpainting (when I moved to Kenya in spring, 2002). I started painting again in summer, 2004. The first work after the interval is a memorial portrait of my grandfather, who passed away while I was in Africa. The five works from «Behind the Donkey» to «Night Florist» are exhibited as quintuple works on the personal exhibition in Tokyo in early 2005. Please wait for the comments for these works...
