About this artwork
Kotaro Machiyama's work explores abstraction as a way of reconnecting with the simple act of seeing. He removes storytelling, depth, and clear references so that color and form can stand on their own, without directing the viewer toward a specific meaning.
Inspired by the way a child first experiences the world, before everything has a name, he tries to return to that space of direct and intuitive perception.
In the studio, he intentionally leaves… out recognizable figures and narrative elements, focusing on how colors and forms relate to one another. Through this process, the painting becomes a living interaction of shapes, tones, and energy.
His paintings are not meant to represent something specific. Instead, they offer space — inviting the viewer to slow down, to look without expectation, and to connect with their own sensations, emotions, and memories. For him, painting is a place where seeing becomes immediate, personal, and alive.

« Reconnecting with the act of seeing »
I explore abstraction as a way to return to the act of seeing itself. By removing narrative, depth, and recognizable imagery, I allow color and form to exist on their own, without directing the viewer toward a fixed meaning.
My work is inspired by how a child first encounters the world, before things are named or defined. In that state, color and shape are experienced more freely and openly. Through painting, I seek to approach this kind of direct, intuitive perception.
In the studio, I intentionally avoid figures and narrative elements. This allows me to focus on the relationships between colors and forms. On the canvas, they interact, shift, and come alive as a dynamic presence.
The paintings do not represent something specific. They function as a space where the viewer can pause, look without expectation, and connect with their own sensations, emotions, and memories. Painting becomes a place where seeing is immediate, personal, and alive.
