Yuki-Onna
Acrylic on canvas - 116.7 × 91.0 cm - 2025
Evoking both ethereal beauty and the chill of death, Yuki-Onna—the snow woman—appears in winter’s silence, shrouded in whiteness, her features frozen by the cold.
In this contemporary rendering her form becomes metallic structures and frozen curves. Her face, barely sketched, seems to float—both absent and spectral, yet undeniably present.
Striking contrasts of black and silver recall full-moon nights in the Japanese mountains, where legend says she wanders. The spirit incarnates as an impassive, glacial volume of troubling elegance.
