SUMIBU ART HOUSE: 
PERFECT BLUE 
by HIROAKI ONUMA

 

"After residing in The Netherlands for seven years, I am saying farewell to Amsterdam and returning to Japan. 🇳🇱✈️🇯🇵

 

The title, 'Perfect Blue,' encapsulates the conflicting emotions of feeling down while understanding the importance of surrendering to the perfect flow of life.

 

The artworks showcased in this exhibition represent my final period in Amsterdam, feeling 'Perfect Blue' reflecting on my seven years spend in the Netherlands since graduating from university and embarking on a journey with my wife.

 

Above all, the richness of my Dutch experience lies in the connections forged with people from diverse backgrounds. Despite my initial struggles with communication and tendency towards isolation, chance encounters have led me to discover untapped facets of myself.

 

As I bid farewell to the Netherlands, I do so without regret. My time there was akin to a perfect shade of blue – thank you for the memories! 🌀💙
