Why Makoto Fujimura is Awesome


Above: Fujimura's "Precious Grace"

"We now begin to realize what we do is only temporary and indefinable. Incomplete gestures must be made, because reality beckons us to respond. Beauty, however peripheral, insists that we remain faithful to who we are, as we are." -- Makoto Fujimura, "Gravity and Grace"

Founder of the International Arts Movement: http://www.iamny.org/

Fujimura is a man looking to speak messages of truth, beauty, and goodness into the world through his artwork. He is someone who is both thoughtful and talented, who creatively weaves the truth of the world and a message of hope into his works. Not only that, but Fujimura is supporting a movement of artists and other businesspeople who are doing something similar (see link above).
