Poetic symphony composed by images, colours and harmony inspired by the natural and musical world by the city of Barcelona and the space of Espronceda: a perfect fusion between nature and Art. Kaoru Shibuta translates musical notes into images and contemporary installations. Bach’s, jazz music, the sound of nature is drawn into musical notes on his sheets, a natural combination to evoke emotion in the observer and audience. Music moves him because he envisions movement in it. Through his art and music, the emotion felt by his work may be encoded through colour, shadow and harmony to be decoded and experienced by the audience. His work leads us into the world of Miro, Matisse, Bach, Beethoven, Zen meditation, Japanese calligraphy.
