About "star fragment"

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.

You know, keeping a "young mind" and staying curious is one of the best ways to stay healthy. Nostalgia is a celebration of circumstances and a hint of ambition – how one would like things to become. Use it as a force and source of inspiration!

Backgrounds on old video/computer games have a long interest to me, I know where you are coming from. They are silent frames to the story, even the simple "shoot em up" games used backgrounds to tell you something, to advance the story.
