Sage, dusty green, and blue-green weave a quiet current through the work. Sweeping gestures across an open sky meet calm horizontal bands of water, tracing a gentle moment suspended between movement and stillness. Sage, muted green, and blue-green form a quiet current across the composition. Broad gestures in the sky meet calm horizontal bands of water, holding the image between movement and rest. 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 pause), light, air, and quietness. Her process values not only what is added, but where to stop — allowing the space around each mark to remain alive and breathable. KINARI is treated not as an artist or brand name, but as an underlying creative theme across the work. Ritsuko Nishimura creates abstract works centered on space, light, air, and quietness.
