Ohara Koson (1877- 1945) was a Japanese painter and designer of woodcut prints.
Koson's first works were mostly illustrations and accounts of wars, then he turned to making (woodcut) prints of birds and flowers (kachō-e).
This is a remix I made of Koson's famous artwork "Great Tit on Paulownia Branch".
In the background, a digital adaptation of the illustration of Mount Fuji, created in 1936 by Japanese printmaker Takahashi Shōtei (1871-1945). 
Together, the artworks of these 2 Japanese gentlemen form a cheerful, warm and happy scene. 
                                
                                        The stylists at Art Heroes call my art style ‘Art with a Wink’. And I couldn't agree more. Life is serious enough as it is,  don't you think? ;-)
I mainly make surrealist artworks and collages,  because in those artstyles I can so wonderfully unleash my creativity and unbridled..
