ARTIST spreading HAPPY
HAPPY Energy
I'm drawing a lot of money.
-On the theme of happiness-
Happy feelings and excitement
Warmth, love, and hope
I express it with energy
The message of the work
It is contained
The vibration overflows from the work
Through my work, I can express that feeling
To many people
We want you to experience it

INTERVIEWInterview
YOKO
At the beginning of the activity, I was pushed by someone
"I've loved drawing since I was a child, but as I grow up, I don't draw much. At that time, I was given a certain opportunity. I liked the transmission of my favorite Mocchi (Ayakade Mochizuki) and I was watching it often, but one day, "Let's put ourselves out there and do what we are good at and what we like without difficulty!" I was inspired by the content of trying to remember my childhood likes and strengths, and I started painting, which is one of my favorite things."
YOKO talked about the time when he was encouraged by the message of his favorite Mocchi (Ayakade Mochizuki), who is active as an influencer and has published a book, with a very sparkling smile. YOKO, who started his career as a painter from an episode that made him feel positive and cheerful, is active as an "ARTIST who spreads HAPPY". This self-introduction, which is exactly a title for YOKO, can be seen on YOKO's SNS in addition to the author's page on this site.
"I also like making other things, such as making accessories and cushion covers for rooms. Rather than the process of writing and making a design, I enjoy being able to write and imagine what I have written. When I draw, I cherish what springs up from the inside."

Receive HAPPY and deliver it to the next person
"I paint when I am in a happy mood, and I think that the person who is watching will also convey happiness. Sometimes I feel depressed, but when I'm in the mood, I don't feel like drawing. I think that my feelings will also be taken over by my work, so when I am happy, I cherish my own energy and draw. I put acrylic paint on the canvas and draw it as I want with the inspiration of the time."
YOKO's works are very bright and have clear colors. Each bright color is clearly developed without mixing, raising the viewer's mood and maintaining an exquisite salt plum that never repels them. Is this the power of YOKO's inspiration and happiness? We asked YOKO about the motifs "peacock" and "flower" that are particularly important in the work, and his favorite color, red. The impression of flowers that touched the heartstrings of a sensitive writer and was not suitable for verbalization, and I received the image as an image that would lift my mood and make it gorgeous.
"The peacock is an image of spreading upwards and flapping its wings. I'm laughing! It's fun to feel that there are times. (With his hands wide and round) is an image like this. Red is a strong color that energizes me and is my favorite color. My favorite motif has a memory of being cheered up somewhere, so I may want to use it in my happy work."

Especially about your favorite works
"'Ryujin of Happiness' is a particularly impressive work. The colorful colors of the dragon god represent brightness, while the lower part represents the natural world with flowers, trees, plants, wind and water, and the orange in the center with sun-like light. I drew it with all my soul with the feeling that I became a dragon god and sprinkled happiness and emitted energy. When I consulted with Mr. White Dragon of Kifune Shrine about what to draw, would you like to draw a dragon god? I received advice. I have a mysterious connection with this person that we were a couple in my previous life, and I also drew a work called "White Dragon" that I was able to model. I drew it with the image of wrapping around everyone and protecting them."
We will talk about YOKO's work. YOKO doesn't usually use a brush much, and she uses her fingertips when mixing paints. The warmth, power, and happiness that are transmitted directly from the hands seem to create these rich works. Finally, we asked him about a work that connects him to one of YOKO's important people, his favorite Mocchi, and his thoughts at that time. When I asked him about the whirlpools that appear wonderfully in YOKO's works, he seemed to remember his experience at that time. At the time of the interview, I would also like to introduce YOKO's classic n, which I was about to do just before.
"There is a work called 'Kindling'. This work expresses the feeling I felt when I participated in the event of my favorite Mocchi and received the energy of Amaterasu from Mocchi. I received hot energy with this hand. I was surprised to feel a hot weight in both hands. I think I was able to express that feeling well. From July 1st to 15th, 2024, we will be holding a web solo exhibition. I would be happy if many people could see my work."
