Hironobu Chisuga

"I have dedicated nearly forty years to my creative journey. I believe that true inspiration occurs at the very moment a human heart touches a fragment of the Divine. My aspiration is not to pursue mere technical skill, but to create works that harbor a quiet, profound resonance—pieces that remain in conversation with the viewer's soul forever."

[ PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND ] Hironobu Chisuga is a graduate of Musashino Art University and a recognized expert in oil painting techniques. His artistic foundation was forged through the rigorous study and copying of classical masters such as Chardin and Velázquez, a discipline that informs his deep understanding of light, air, and form.

His technical mastery is so well-regarded that he was a key contributor to the long-selling instructional book "Style & Process" (published in Japan and China), where he authored extensive sections on Impressionistic landscapes and figurative portraiture.

[ ARTISTIC HIGHLIGHTS ] ● Gold Prize: 30th Italy Art Award in Rome ● Grand Prize: 21st FUKUI Small Works Art Exhibition ● Director: Iwate Art Festival (2000-2023) ● Featured Artist: The Ueno Royal Museum & Iwate Museum of Art ● Public Collection: Fukui Culture Center
