About "star fragment" (Patreon)

Let me explain a little about this painting.

I have a very strong nostalgia to fantasy.

I still cannot stop listening to the background music from the old Final Fantasy series.

I used to think this was a nostalgic escape from reality, and I was ashamed of it.

But perhaps it is a trivial matter whether the landscapes I find fascinating are real or fantasy.

This is because the original source of all fantasy is this world, and it is in the minds of earthlings.

I believe that fantasy is one way of seeing the world that includes the memories, tastes, and ideas of the author.

I came to this conclusion the other day after a discussion of FF8.

(Few people on earth understand this, but FF8 is not a sword and sorcery romance, but a metafiction that speaks of media theory, anti-war, and the inheritance of love.)

I may continue to paint fantasy art.

Without distinguishing them from Japanese landscapes.
