Artist's comment
Vast expanse of everyday-life.
I try to focus on depicting a piece of scenes all the Japanese have seen. It is my pleasure if my paintings can be the eyes to look what we live in.
Gallery's comment
Sakamoto's works attract attention publicly these days.
The perfectly-placed space can be the window of viewer's imagination and one can have his or her head relaxed. They have infinite broadening of the world if you follow the brushstrokes. I recommend you to feel it.
