The Music of Art
Kaoru Shibuta is an exciting Japanese painter who has exhibited his work both at home in Japan and abroad in Spain, Taiwan and Cambodia. Inspired by jazz and classical music, he predominately composes paintings that act as visual transformations of musical notes. His poetic symphony harnesses the energy of his rich local culture and blends nature, music and art into one voice.
‘Art is like the music of Mozart to me. Mozart was here to connect the world of the earth with the world of the heavens, and I promise to promote it in my paintings’
