For me, art is a reflection of a person's present. It is a primitive that explores the imagination of people that cannot be pursued by science and technology. Creating is an attempt to solve the mysteries of the world and human beings. I am interested in the source of the imagination of the person who creates civilization. I am often attracted to motifs and materials that make me feel that. I studied sculpture a little at preparatory school and art school, but in my 20s and 30s, I was hardly interested in art, and after moving from one part-time job to another, I acquired technology and plastic thinking in commercial art design such as designer and figure prototype. It was through meditation and mystical experiences in my 40s that I became truly interested in art for the first time.

【Activity Development】 I am working on four main series (quotation, meditation, idol, and automatic) at the same time, and I am exploring a style that integrates them while evolving them individually.
The Quoted Painting series, which uses banknotes as the main material, will add Western paintings to the ukiyo-e paintings of Hokusai and Kuniyoshi at a solo exhibition in September.
Meditation: In the visualization of meditation experiences, we are working on visualizing and artizing experiences with figurative paintings such as phantom beasts and IDEA that abstracts meditation spaces.
Idol: We are now in the stage of adding painting to the sculpture with character expression called idols.
【Automatic】 We started painting portraits, landscapes, and other photographs in a series of random collages of banknotes called AutomaticPeinnting.
My characteristic is that different series are varied and developed like other people's works, so I am working on how to refine these as a challenge in the future.
