“I was able to hang it in the audio room I’d dreamed of,
This commission made me deeply happy. Thank you!”

A joyful note from the client
“Infinite possibility, made visible.”
We asked NAO — an artist known for animals and flowers —
for two still lifes, of all things…And yet,
Yet her youthful take on records, and that life-filled brushwork,
turned ordinary vinyl discs into something with infinite possibility.Thank you again, NAO.
I’ll stay at my day job a little longer, but
I’m working hard toward opening the record bar so these pieces can finally be seen!A.M.

A closing note from infinity artist NAO
Thank you so much for the kind words and the commission.
When the request came in I thought,“A r-record?! I’ve never painted one!”came to be.
I’m not from the vinyl generation, and it wasn’t a motif I’d expected.
As a child I wanted to be a vet or a florist.
Because I loved those things I had mostly painted animals and flowers.
Lately there are more Mt. Fujis and dragon gods, but…
I saw records in CD shops until about junior high. You don’t see them much now, do you? Do kids born today even know the word “record”?
To paint this work
I hadn’t really lived with records, so I went to a record café.
I even took home vinyl no one was playing anymore, and found my way into the work.
Records are rare now, and that makes them precious.
Commissioned art is when you’re asked for a motif you wouldn’t choose yourself.
I finished it with a healthy stretch of nerves.
It’s left my hands, but I’m still quietly proud of it.
Men, by the way, have been especially kind about it.
Thank you so much for such a rare commission request.
A special work of art — yours alone.
Shall we use an artist’s kind of magic, and turn what you hold dear into something you can see?

“Infinity” NAO takes her name from her birth month, August — the number 8 and the infinity mark. A Leo, she uses the lion as her emblem. In Hawaiian, leo means “voice” or “message.” She paints to deliver a message from the soul.
