Daniel Jaimes, Sakura, acrylic, $50

My work explores the emotions I hold for the things I create. I hope to show the beauty of things. I love the sadness in the things I find empty, etc.
For a while now, I have been completely infatuated with the beauty of Asian culture—from the scenery to the architecture, to the food and especially the peoples’ beauty. The traditional Japanese beauty where their skin is as white as snow and their lips are as red as the blood flowing through our veins. Truly a sight to behold.
My artwork is titled Sakura. I have always wanted to see the Cherry blossoms and it is one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen through photos and something I wish to go see someday. Along with Japanese Beauty these two combined is something one can only see in a dream.
