All living things have evolved and lived in a miraculously born atmosphere and water cycle.　I created the work of this series with all the thoughts of life that will continue to live forever.
I majored in Japanese painting at an art university. I love Japanese paper and mineral pigments. The materials for Japanese painting are primitive and difficult, and there are many restrictions. However, I think it is a very interesting painting material that has a lot of potential to create more and more original techniques depending on how you use it.

Circulation of water and air

The main theme of this collection is "pink". Pink is the color of fruit as well as skin, flesh, and organs. As I deal with this color on a daily basis, I undeniably become aware of the "body" and its "temperature. Warm folds and pulsating shadows. It expands and contracts in both the micro and macro scale, enveloping and releasing. The experience of being overwhelmed and tossed about by the "colors of life" while being drawn in by its charms is painful and truly stimulating.

Temperature

　For the past few years, I have been painting on the theme of "omagadoki".
This is an old word for "evening. It is the time when the sun goes down and it gets dark, and you might meet a "demon". I think it must have been more mysterious in the days when there were no electric lights, and I came across this word when I was a teenager and came to love this time of the day when the sun was setting. The familiar scenery of the city changes just a little. You may be able to see what you cannot see. For me, "demon" is not "demon" but "demon" of "magic. It is a moment filled with the feeling that something extraordinary is about to happen, and I am quietly excited in the magical light and shade.

Magic Hour

This collection is a collection of paintings inspired by the magic hour of travel. When I travel, I often sketch cities and nature. Of course I take pictures, but I find that sketching slowly helps me appreciate the beauty of a place even more. I am very happy to spend my time as a painter. I painted these works based on these sketches.

Magic Hour Journey

This collection is derived from the Magic Hour series. It is a challenge to depict Magic Hour images in the realm of completely abstract paintings.
