About The Artist
Hiroshi Nakamura’s art is a love letter to the wilderness of Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. Surrounded by vast forests, snow-capped mountains, and diverse wildlife, Hiroshi grew up with a profound respect for nature. His artistic journey began as a child, sketching wildlife during long hikes with his father, a park ranger.
Hiroshi’s style is characterized by detailed, almost meditative depictions of animals like foxes, bears, and owls. Using soft pastels and natural pigments, his art captures the subtle interplay of light and shadow in the wild. His series Northern Serenity earned him international recognition, and his works are a staple in conservation-themed art exhibitions.
Committed to protecting the environment, Hiroshi frequently collaborates with ecological organizations. He believes his art serves as a gentle reminder of nature’s fragility and the need to preserve it for future generations.
