fumi koike
Let’s stay home all day. These lovely, calming pieces are the work of Japanese artist / illustrator Fumi Koike. Her muted palettes and simple observations of day-to-day life make me want to slow down for a moment, take a deep breath… and then have a nap with my dogs. Zzz.
<3_____<3 I am completely and totally in LOVE! Wow! I wonder what it's painted with. Gouache?
not only do I love her detailed and wonderful slice of life paintings, I love her splash of black in each grouping, it makes draws me into her work even more! thanks for sharing these beautiful paintings!
Yes, I do love when artists put a splash of black in their paintings, like Karen Mamma Andersson. I love the perspective too. Such fresh work!
Beautiful work — What I notice is her brush strokes and how the texture of paint mixes so nicely with the characters of the piece and the mood of the day.
Lovely work! So calming to see home life portrayed in a humble way. Makes me want to stay at home…
