About the Item

A surreal scene with spirals, floral shapes and meticulously rendered black and white patterns. This drawing is entirely hand-drawn using only pen and paper. Framed in a solid black wood frame with museum glass, 10 x 6.5 inches (unframed) 11.75 x 8.25 inches (framed). Signed on back of frame. Japanese-born artist Michiyo Ihara uses only pen and pencil to create artwork that expresses the complexity of the universe. In the Soul Flowers series, the artist invites viewers into a world where a plant's delicate beauty intertwines with the human spirit's ever-changing nature. Through meticulously crafted pen drawings, Ihara creates a visual narrative that explores the profound connection between the fleeting moments of blossoming flowers and the evolving essence of the soul. As flowers undergo various growth and transformation stages, the human soul experiences a continuous journey of renewal and self-discovery. This series of drawings explore life's inherent beauty and fragility. With each pen stroke, Ihara immortalizes the transient nature of both nature and humanity. The intricate details and thoughtful compositions evoke a sense of wonder, inviting viewers to contemplate the ever-changing landscape of their souls. The Soul Flowers serve as a poignant reminder that, like flowers, our souls are in a perpetual state of growth, resilience, and metamorphosis. The artist lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.
