After studying business at the Faculty of Commerce, I got a career track at a manufacturer. It was a few years after the Equal Employment Opportunity Act was enacted, and I lived a fulfilling but quite hard working life. Even in my busy life, I couldn't control my desire to paint, so I went to an oil painting class once a week at a gallery in the Ginza Corridor Street, which was held at the time.

I painted oil paintings and made charcoal drawings. I realized that that kind of time is a very precious time that allows me to forget everything and immerse myself in painting. Forget about everyday stress and floating worlds. When I was concentrating, I couldn't hear anything, and I was free from everything by focusing only on what was in front of me.

I can't help but draw it. The more time I have to draw, the more I feel about painting.

I want to express the excitement of being alive as it is. When I'm painting, I'm alive myself. I realize. When I spend my time on a daily basis, I don't feel that kind of thing, and the days go by in a hurry. I was moved by seeing beautiful things, and by drawing pictures, I felt like I was alive. I put that feeling into my paintings.

Flowers are amazing. I think. Quiet and silent, but powerful and full of vitality. And he will gently snuggle up to you no matter what you feel. This is true not only for flowers but also for nature as a whole, but the vitality due to the resilience that has evolved over a long period of time. Especially in this corona disaster, I felt once again that the existence of flowers and nature is even more amazing. I am encouraged by the fact that they steadily carve the seasons, that the greenery is steadily sprouting, and that the flowers are blooming and embodying the seasons firmly.

Until now, there was an assumption that painting = oil painting. However, oil painting is not the best choice for painting delicate, detailed, and fluid paintings like those found in my grandfather's ink paintings, which can be said to be the origin. With such thoughts in mind, I encountered transparent watercolor paints, which accelerated my life as an artist.

One of the discoveries was that there were such wonderful art materials. I was fascinated by the transparency of transparent watercolor, the color on top while making use of the white of the paper, and the charm of paint that brings both to life by adding color to it. Transparent watercolor moves with water. Rather than drawing, I put color. When a color is placed, it spreads and mixes with the water. I like finished things, but the feeling of playing on paper when I'm drawing is also very attractive. When you want to draw flowers and the atmosphere around them, the goodness of transparent watercolor comes into play.

Personally, I like to express it using granulation paint particles. By mixing heavy and light paints and placing them on the screen, the light paint flows quickly ~ and the heavy paint enjoys the changes on the screen that remain there. If you come to see the actual painting, you will see that there is granulation around here! I think you will enjoy it.

I went to the flower shop anyway, and this girl... It's a joy to meet a child like that. When I go to a flower shop, I don't decide to buy 〇〇, but go looking for a meeting. I wonder what kind of people are there today. I'm going to go with a little excitement like that. Then it will be wow every time. I wonder if there was such a person.

There is always a flower that catches the eye, and the encounter is completely different depending on the season, and it depends on the timing of the trip, so it is really a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
I'm glad I met you today, please come to my house. So, I will scout one by one, focusing on the child who plays the main role, and I will scout one by one, as if you would like to come to my house, but the process is irresistibly fun, or rather, I am a little excited (laughs).

That's where the painting begins, or rather, it feels like I'm grateful for the encounter and come back with a cherished heart. The finished picture is a single picture, but it starts with going and meeting flowers, scouting, having it cohesive to a certain extent, and then thinking about which vessel to match when you get home. The time spent with flowers is also included in the painting.
