Sumiyo Toribe
Anderson Park Fall 2024
Inspired by the shifting seasons of New England, my watercolor paintings strive to capture the essence of this dynamic landscape. Through my work, I seek to explore and celebrate the beauty, energy, and intricate patterns of growth and change inherent in the natural world. My approach combines expressive and impressionistic techniques, influenced by both Western and Eastern artistic traditions, allowing me to create pieces that are at once abstract and representational. This fusion of styles enables me to make spontaneous marks that encapsulate the joy and vibrant rhythm of life in these landscapes. As I experiment with form and concept, I am constantly inspired by the ever-changing beauty around me, aiming to share this appreciation with viewers and evoke a deep sense of wonder and connection to the world's stunning intricacies.
