In an easy-to-understand example, you may be inspired by the small nature around your home, especially plants. The colors, shapes, sounds, and atmosphere I felt during my trip are also connected to the painting.

But most of them don't have any special inspiration, and they are triggered by the things they usually look at for the longest time and don't get out of their heads. For example Japan the "night" and "enclosure" exhibited by Art.jp Hashihashi are motifs of curtains, chairs, and views from the windows of his home. Because I spent a lot of time at home due to the coronavirus pandemic, I was just watching it.

In addition, the works related to sound are motifs of songs that are listened to repeatedly or practiced on the piano. Words and sentences, such as novels and ideas, can also affect the production policy.

There are some events and thoughts that trigger production, but production takes time, and what you wanted to convey and your thoughts will change. When the season that triggered the change changes, the appearance and scenery of the plants will change, and the same music and words will give rise to different feelings depending on your situation.

I think it will be difficult for others to understand what is depicted, but I don't aim to make it understand. I think that if you feel something when you stand in front of a painting and replace it with your own experience or evoke a memory, you may have conveyed something.

Still, they are interested in what is being drawn and what they want to convey, and if I have a chance to talk to them, I will be happy to reveal them, and I think the story will be long. Otherwise, I don't want to overexplain too much.

In the works of artists that can be appreciated in Japan today, we pay attention to and refer to the art materials, frames, composition and finishing methods of the screen, materials, and mainly the production process.

In the past, I was shocked by the art supplies and techniques of foreign artists on YouTube and Instagram. I also had the opportunity to visit local art supply stores and ateliers during my stay abroad, and the use of colors and tools was completely new to me, which greatly influenced me. After going through such experiences, I would like to cherish my own perspective and try to create works that do not give up being Japanese.

I am more interested in the background of the work of historically famous artists, such as when and under what circumstances they were painted in their lives, and what kind of era they were socially involved, rather than art materials and techniques.

Currently, a certain culture school is holding a course called Art Exercise︎ ®. We have multiple classes for different age groups, from infants to the elderly, and support production.

I am also greatly inspired by the children who play with the tools in front of them without thinking about technology and expression difficultly. In the adult class, people who are drawing for the first time have the courage to participate. I myself feel like I've finally allowed myself to paint after going through various conflicts, so I want to support whatever I can.
