Playland by Masakatsu Sashie (Oil on Canvas, 194 x 194 cm) [select image to see larger view]I follow the “Artist of the Day” blog site. A couple of weeks ago on that site, I spotted this Japanese artist, Masakatsu Sashie, and his very intriguing art. This particular piece, “Playland” (2012), especially caught my attention.
His profile on the Artist of the Day states:
His detailed paintings feature large urban spheres that appear to hovering above the remnants of a lost or deteriorating human civilization.
Sashie aims to give his city spheres a fantastical “old Japan” look, mixing elements of post-WWII Japanese architecture with fantasy or science fiction.
I find Masakatsu’s art to be very powerful, amazingly creative, and richly thought provoking.
Happy Coloring!

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways
For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits.
Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it.
As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
