Layers of deep indigo and violet enfold sea and sky beneath a single, quiet veil. Closing the series with its richest color and density, this work leaves the longest, most resonant afterimage of stillness. Indigo and violet gather in layered depth, wrapping sea and sky in a quiet veil. As the closing work in the series, its darker palette leaves a deeper, more resonant afterimage of stillness. SERIES — STILL TIDE STILL TIDE is a five-work series about horizontal stillness rather than the sea as a literal subject. Sea, surf, and shore are reduced to calm horizontal bands, while broad gestures and granular textures move across the open sky. Each work shifts in color, but all share the same language of space, light, air, and restrained time. From a distance they read as quiet seascapes; up close they become fields of gesture and texture.

ABOUT RITSUKO NISHIMURA Ritsuko Nishimura creates abstract works centered on ma (negative space and interval), light, air, and quietness. Her process values not only what is added, but where to stop — allowing the surrounding space to remain open and breathable. KINARI is treated not as an artist or brand name, but as an underlying creative theme woven through the work as a whole.
