Shota's paintings are inspired by nature and his life as a travelling artist. Shota has been attending residencies and exhibiting in Australia and New Zealand, with a trip to Samoa in between. His abstract landscapes are vibrant, highly worked in colourful detail and unique.

"When we make art we communicate with ourselves alot. It is an intense conversation. It happens between our conscious and unconscious. Then we put our own idea, story and philosophy on canvas or some other material. Art is a means of visualizing ones philosophy" Shota Kawahara
