This painting is inspired by the crane - a gracious and mystical creature which is a significant symbol in Japanese culture - being an embodiment of eternal youth, good fortune and happiness.
This particular piece was included in my personal exhibition in Sofia, Bulgaria (May, 2025), titled "Oubaitori".
I sincerely hope you enjoy this series, as I find it to be a quite personal and close to heart.
