Yasuaki Okamoto
My paintings perform a kind of surrealist that incorporates animals, plants, everyday objects, landscape, and ethereal beings. I paint them into my paintings as an icon of a death, life, and/or nature…
My work is metaphorically based and inspired by my travel throughout Europe, Asia and North America.
