KIM FUJIWARA 3/3 – From lighting to the colors, looking for weather and moods, to earth and sky, the American West has everything for him to fuel his creative soul. Besides watching western movies during the 1960’s, his inspiration of The West actually started in 1990, after being commissioned to illustrate children’s books. He was influenced by American artists as David Grove and Norman Rockwell, Gil Elvgren and French Impressionism. In 1992 he started his own studio. His art has garnered several Gold and Silver Awards.
