The Artist concentrates on color etching of images in nature:
Florals, plants, fruits and insects are presented with great sensitivity of line and color.
Shinji uses intricate flowing pattern of line and delicate color palette of harmonizing shades.
His images often emanate out of soft shadow into subdued light giving them a sense of wonder as if seen unexpectedly in their inherent beauty.
