Vibrant, colorful and filled with miniature trees – this is how the paintings of Japanese artist Yohei Yama are. The painter lives and works in France. There is a common motif of miniature trees in his works, which is characteristic of his style. Each painting has its central point and tiny trees seem to swirl around it.
This is what Yohei told me about his works:
I feel like that I plant little trees on canvas. When FUKUSHIMA accident happened, I was so shocked and could not paint for many days. Suddenly motif of small trees come into my mind, I don`t know why but more I draw more energy overflow, so I revived. Then I realized this is a healing for me, for people, for nature which human destroyed. So I keep on planting little trees on canvas. Nature always inspire me.
