Kuro Neko

A quiet little guardian dressed in blue, watching the world with sleepy golden eyes.

Inspired by the simplicity and warmth of Japanese aesthetics, this tiny painting is meant to bring a small moment of calm wherever it lives—on a bookshelf, a desk, a cozy corner, or beside your favorite plants. Its bold colors and playful expression make it just as much a conversation piece as it is a comforting one.

Painted entirely by hand on a 5 × 5 inch (12.7 × 12.7 cm) solid wooden panel. The wood is carefully prepared with three layers of primer, painted with acrylics, and finished with a protective matte varnish that preserves the colors while letting the hand-painted texture shine through.
