Our Sparks.

"A moment on an autumn mountain" by Takahiro Yamamoto

 

We had an internal art contest for our Social Initiatives and 3 artworks were selected for this year by the vote.

The theme was a “spark” that twinkles in each of our team members’ hearts. Our passions, hopes, or hard-core commitment for the company, our products, businesses, customers, users, and our future. Let us share the existence of the spark in our team members’ hearts with their artworks.

The third selected artwork is "A moment on an autumn mountain" by Takahiro Yamamoto.

Title: A moment on an autumn mountain        Artist: Takahiro Yamamoto       

About Artwork: I drew a picture of the lullaby I made when my eldest son was born. Like playing an orchestra, I hope that each one of the unique team members will work together, aiming for creativity and harmonious development. The lighthouse over the hill and the balloons floating in the sky express dreams and adventures.

Comment: Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed painting more than studying, and used to go to painting classes on weekends with my friends. Time flied when I drew my familiar things such as the birds I had at home, the nearby mountains or the distant sea with watercolors. After I grew up, I forgot about painting, but when I came across the Tayasui Sketches app for beginners, I remembered how much fun painting is, and I started painting illustrations for children's picture books during my commute. I am still learning from my favorite Impressionist paintings and Ukiyo-e paintings. I usually draw the outlines with a digital pen and change colors and tones by touch. My artworks are shared on Behance.

Lylics of the lullaby “Good Brothers”:
Elder brother likes ice cream so much
He’s crying as his younger brother took it
He's not defeated no matter what
He wouldn’t be discouraged anymore
The two are brothers with lovely smiles
They are singing in harmony with everyone
