For as long as I can remember, I have been drawing before I knew it. You didn't think about it and drew the character on the pillars of your home. For me, there is no distinction between work and hobby for everything I work on. Since childhood, I have been interested in thinking about the essence of things. I feel like I like to explore. I decided to become a painter at a very young age. I wanted to be a person who drew manga, which I associated with drawing at the time. I wanted to be a manga artist like Osamu Tezuka, who gives everyone a dream.

During my school life, I met various paintings and painters. I met Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet, Raphael, Gerhard Richter, etc., and I was influenced by all of them. Especially when I saw Richter's work, I thought that this was my work itself.

In an art class when I was in elementary and junior high school, I began to have doubts about how to draw well. There is a motif, and I felt that I could imitate the motif and draw the class content with a photo. I was worried about whether a picture that looked exactly like it was a good picture. I was protested against the high level of skill in drawing, but when I asked myself what a painting was, I still couldn't give an answer at that time.

When I was in high school, I met the Beatles. This is how I came to think that I wanted to create freely. I hope that any person can think about whether they are good or bad, whether it is a conventional expression, and be able to create freely.

As I create my work every time, new emotions are born. I sometimes think that this expression was good because it didn't work, but the act of creation itself cannot be superior or inferior. I don't narrow down one memory to one.

My work has no motif, and the work is created from nothing. The fact that he uses pure white paper to express the feeling of creating something out of nothing may be a big difference from other artists who work with motifs. It starts with a clean piece of paper and expresses the joy of changing more and more in the process of drawing. Each time, we create new works that can never be drawn again. It is common for art to have a motif in the work, but I create art that has the existence of the work itself.

I was particularly strongly influenced by the Korean philosopher Noh Jae-so. The published definitions of essence helped me give a clear answer to the question of what my essence is. I think this is an opportunity to think deeply about essence and existence.

In recent years, I have come up with my own answer to the question of what a good picture is. I want to paint this landscape, and I am moved by the object that this person thinks is beautiful, and I have a motivation to paint it. I express it in my work and let the viewer see and feel it. I think a picture that can create this series of flows is a good picture. And I think that by increasing the number of such works, the art industry will be enriched.

I believe that good paintings have the power to enrich society as well as the art market. I believe that by stirring the heart, questioning the sensibility, and delivering dignity, we will lead to the creation of a better society.

When looking at the future of art, I thought that artists would be stuck if they could only rely on their own talents and continue to create works that were obsessed with material things and profits. In order to break through this wall, I feel that we need to break down the expressions we have been using so far. My thoughts are only descriptions of the work. I think that my work is the main thing, so I hope that many readers will see my work.
