This word means “a profound, mysterious sense of the beauty of the universe that triggers a deep emotional response.”
"I called this painting 'Yugen' because it embodies that subtle, elusive beauty which cannot be fully explained, only felt. The hazy skyline rising from its own reflection is neither entirely real nor entirely imagined, like a memory dissolving into silence. Yugen is the art of suggestion, of depth behind the visible. In this work, I wished to evoke that quiet ache of mystery, the sense that there is always more beneath the surface, always something just out of reach yet profoundly moving to the soul."
