A collector’s piece. This painting serves as a captivating work of art designed specifically for collectors who seek unique and meaningful pieces.

Personal Comments from the Artist to Buyers:

Artistic Influences

I lived in Tokyo for 5 years, and for two of those years, I worked as an English rewriter for the anime/animation industry. I rewrote the English for a Studio Ghibli film, done by Hayao Miyazaki, before it got sold to Disney. In this project and hundreds of other projects, I had to study each anime/animation frame and make sure the translated dialogue sounded natural. Working so closely with such brilliant artists and their artwork, I believe I see their many influences inside all the paintings from my Smart City Art series.

Painting’s Inspiration

Also, I find myself increasingly troubled by the looming threat of climate change and the uncertain future it poses for our planet. My heart aches for the younger generations, who may inherit a world riddled with environmental challenges. It’s their future that weighs heavily on my mind and has inspired me to create this Smart City Art series.

Research indicates that by the year 2050, a staggering 70% of the global population will be residing in urban areas. This statistic highlights a pressing need for action. One powerful way to address the climate crises wrought by prior generations is to develop clean, healthy, smart, and sustainable cities—environments where the majority of the world’s inhabitants will thrive.

By investing in these urban spaces of limited planetary size, we have the potential to not only mitigate the damage inflicted on our planet but also pave the way for a brighter, more resilient future for all.
