- Taro Yamamoto
In the spirit of "Ideas Worth Spreading," this is a presentation by Taro Yamamoto, a Japanese painter who is a jury member of the Creator's Factory Art Competition and the Children's Category, in cooperation with TEDx, a program run independently in various parts of the world.
"Nippon-Ga, paintings that depict the multi-faceted Japanese culture"
Taro Yamamoto, a Japanese painter, advocates "Nippon-ga," a style of painting in which tradition, modernity, and heterogeneous cultures coexist. He fuses classic Japanese paintings with modern customs, painting with a touch of humor and parody.
"The source of my energy is definitely drawing and creating. Since I love to paint, painting gives me the energy to create the next piece of art and gives me the energy to live."
