Description

"Nirvana" literal translation is "Blow out".
This is the concept and the way of my art works.
Nirvana is a 2.5 dimension painting.
Masaho Miyashima has developed a technique of painting on canvas by spaying and then wiping off and practiced this technique for twenty years. The set of the works was titled "Phantom". Until one night when while browsing an internet he looked into the meaning of the word "Nervana", which changed his understanding of his creative process. The literal translation from Indo-European was "to blow out". Masaho uses a spray compressor to blow the paint on the canvas and then wipes it off. He constructs and deconstructs, creates and destroys. Since that day of May 6th 2009 Mr. Miyashima started working on a new project called "Nervana". This new concept focuses on the action itself, the power of the creation, it is spontaneous and expressive, not illustrative and organized, it allows to create chaotic objects and not repetitive pattern. By wrinkling the canvas, then spraying on it the paint and afterwards stretching it for the last step allows the artist to create 3-dimensional painting on the 2-dimentional surface. The burst of emotion to erase what was created as the final stage of painting is giving to Mr. Miyashima's work even more power. The simple Buddhist concept and the emotion of the execution is the quintessence of the project "Nervana".
"Nervana" is an always changing process that Masaho Miyashima continues to study and develop even now days.
