The essence of my creations lies in the artistry of familiar landscapes, evoking a sense of déjà vu. Within them reside the vistas that grace our present, the remnants imprinted upon our impressions, the forgotten realms, and the hidden tapestries within the human spirit, woven since time immemorial. Past, present, and future intertwine seamlessly, mingling in a symphony of diverse panoramas that form the very fabric of my works. I aspire to merge the landscapes I craft with the latent visions nestled within the hearts of others, giving rise to a grandeur of scenic beauty. It is a profound encounter that stirs the roots of our shared humanity, perhaps even unlocking the delicate veil that drapes across the surface of existence.
For what is known as "my landscape," though shaped by the toil of my hands, I perceive it as a conduit to commune with the primal essence of mankind. ——Mizutani Atsushi.
