Japan’s 80-year-old Tatsuo Horiuchi is one such individual whose paintings depict the beauty of the landscapes of Japan and its rich cultural and natural heritage; however, his work is especially special for one unique reason.
It all started when he was about to retire and expressed interest in learning something new. While he decided that he would paint, he didn’t want to spend money on art supplies and rather used his PC.
While he had never used the software, he was able to master the Excel painting technique in no time.
Six years after starting his Excel art journey, he even won the Autoshape Art Contest in 2006.
Have a glance at his beautiful work.
