John Evarette Millais

20 years ago I first saw Millais's Ophelia in Tate Gallery, London. This time it was my second chance to see her in bunkamura, Shibuya.

Although I had been in a great environment for admiring art at that time, since I was a child I did not enjoy at all. However thanks to my parents who took me to museums and galleries as much as they could to cultivate and inspire my sensibility.

The audio guide helped to understand and enjoy each work of art. The most impressive piece was still, Ophelia. The detailed work of flowers and plants were just so incredible with their joyful colours that seem to stand out Ophelia's sad fate.

Looking forward to our 3rd meeting in 20 years...
