Muraoka’s oil paintings are composed of a vibrant array of fragments dispersed on a black painted surface. The lightweight shapes seem to form constellations and at the same time appear to be insignificant decorative elements. The jewel-like forms, devoid of size relativity, seemingly float and dispel the composition, making the audience aware of the larger image that spreads beyond what is visible to their eyes.
