Kaoru Shibuta

"The world connected by sound and music links us."

Kaoru Shibuta translate musical notes into images and contemporary installations. In addition, through local culture and energy of atmosphere, he creates a poetic symphony composed of images, colours and harmony, which is a perfect fusion between nature, music and art.

"If Mozart is the one who composes music to link the terrestrial world to the celestial world, I am the one who undertakes him to propagate it with my painting. If Beethoven composed to surpass philosophy, then I undertake to give them a shape with my paintings. J・S・Bach is the old testament Bible of the classical music."

​​Shibuta states that "...the art had to be something that would gain the world's attention for life. Environmental issues are urgent for us." 

"A handful of soil is home to 100 billion microorganisms that cultivate fields without the use of fertilizers. Even without the use of pesticides, it prevents outbreaks of insects and cures plant diseases naturally. A place where life is born, nurtured, and returned." - Akinori Kimura
