Daisuke Ohba's metallic paintings are created using holographic pigments. The colors, light, and shadows we see in our daily lives seem to vanish in his paintings, revealing a world governed by a completely different set of nature's laws. When we look at these extraordinary scenes, where neither time nor space exist, our minds are temporarily freed from trivialities and we are filled with a refreshing sensation. This is one of the signature works of Ohba, who in recent years has been developing works inspired by mythology and the ancient earth.
