Seascape IV by Yves Millet is a pastel on Japanese shikishi board that evokes sea and sky with luminous contrasts. Broad strokes of golden yellow and warm orange light the horizon, while cooler blues and violets anchor the rocks below. Layers of pastel create both depth and texture, capturing the fleeting atmosphere of a coastal landscape at dusk. Millet’s refined use of colour and abstraction transforms this shikishi into a contemplative work of art.

Yves Millet is a French contemporary artist and scholar whose work bridges European abstraction and East Asian aesthetics. With a PhD in the Philosophy of Art focused on the "Spirit of Tao," Millet spent fifteen years in South Korea and Japan, deeply absorbing the poetic concepts of empty space and non-action (Wu Wei). His pastel works on Shikishi are sensory journeys—layered fields of color and light that resist full definition, inviting the viewer to complete the landscape with their own imagination.
