A work created in 2021 by Haruka Makita. Executed in watercolor on paper mounted on panel, the artwork bears the artist’s handwritten signature on the front lower left and on the reverse, and is accompanied by a signed certificate of authenticity.

The composition portrays a gently smiling figure set against a deep blue background reminiscent of a night sky. The delicate bleeding and transparency of watercolor lend the image a dreamlike quality, as if recalling a distant memory. Scattered circles and dots floating across the background evoke stars, creating a poetic atmosphere that echoes the subject’s serene expression.

Makita is known for transforming fragments of emotion and memory into narrative-like figures. In this work, a sense of quiet happiness and gentle intimacy emerges, inviting viewers into a contemplative and comforting world.
