This marks a significant milestone in the international recognition of contemporary Belgian art.
 
"Feelings", a masterful work of emotional depth and graceful form, has captivated audiences with its universal language of human connection.

The Saito Museum, located in Matsusaka, Mie Prefecture, Japan, is a private art museum founded by psychiatrist Saitō Yōichi. The museum's collection comprises approximately 3,000 works, primarily focusing on modern Western-style paintings. The museum organizes about three unique exhibitions annually, showcasing these pieces. 
 
The collection emphasizes not only the aesthetic beauty of the artworks but also the artists' dedication and originality.
