Many of Yuki Ogura's works are portraits and still lifes that are based on familiar objects. The clear colors, bold line drawings, and the clear shapes that emerge from them clearly show modern expressions supported by a rich sense of everyday life while emphasizing the oriental spirituality. Yuki Ogura's works are full of various charms, such as high-quality figure paintings backed by a keen observation eye, still life paintings that make you feel a profound spirituality, and pictures of Bodhisattva statues that gently speak to the viewer.
