Music, nature, words, will... Thinking about the "form" that is spun from person to person and from era to era, and expressing the emotions that arise as "shape".
Information, things, systems, and a society that is in a hurry in today's world, where you can see everything in the palm of your hand if you want it. It is easy to forget what is taken for granted, but when you stop and open the lid of your heart, there is something fascinating. Listen to the voices of things that are really important...

▽Self-introduction
"Facing your sensibility and finding the essence beyond it"
Born in Chofu City, Tokyo in 1987 and raised in Chofu City.
I have loved crafts since I was a child, and after I became an adult, I played with colored pencils and pastels, but I wanted to start painting in earnest, so I tried oil painting in my mid-20s.
I don't go to art school and I am self-taught. I have been drawing for about 10 years.
Shape, sound, notation, history, and other beings that remain from person to person have "thoughts that are put into them".
I want to cherish the feelings and feelings that are conveyed to people.
He expresses his thoughts while linking them to his own way of life in "form, not form".
Utilizing the experience of escaping past despair through paintings, we will send out information that can cultivate inner self.
Also, I like alcohol. Especially Japan sake...
I think of painting as a mirror of a person.
Art is both real and unrealistic that looks at the essence of things.
In other words, it is close to philosophy (essence).
I have such an interesting and troublesome feeling.
⇒Life = Painting, Painting = Life
▽Past ~ Present・・・Future
Currently, I am engaged in activities that foster humanity through painting.
There was a time when I couldn't have confidence in myself because my grades were poor when I was a student or a member of society.
I have suffered from depression twice in the past, but by continuing to draw, I have regained my confidence and self-confidence and gained the strength to live.
The number of people who have barriers to social life, such as lack of self-esteem, suffering from not being able to find originality in life, etc., is increasing year by year.
I feel that art is not just a decoration, but not a silent partner who encourages and cheers up people, but also a field where we can talk to ourselves and cultivate and create values that only we can create, not values defined by society.
Art has the potential to foster humanity (autonomy) and I would like to create a new "form".
I was in a vulnerable position due to self-doubt and depression, but through painting, I am who I am now.
This time, I want to do activities that can reach out to people in similar positions through my painter business.
▽Reasons for continuing activities
When I was a student, I couldn't study or exercise, and most of my grades were 1 and 2 out of 5 every time.
There was a time when I had no hope of living because I had no strengths or confidence and was bullied.
At that time, I was praised for the first time, saying, "Oh, isn't that amazing!"
It was the moment when I realized the potential of painting by those around me, regardless of my grades.
Even after I became a member of society, I lived an empty life of drinking without much success.
He suffered from depression for the first time, where he was exposed to the experience of painting, which led to a new self-discovery and his return to society.
A few years after stabilizing, my depression recurred for the second time. It was just hard to live, and I spent a living hell wishing to die every day, but I regained myself by continuing to draw after returning to society through rehabilitation.
By starting to draw from a situation where you didn't have strength or confidence, you can create an existence that only you can show, which leads to confidence.
Even if you are mentally ill, you can regain yourself and make a leap forward by stimulating your sensitivity through painting.
What do you want to be as a painter? I feel that it is a field where I can dig into myself and find a way of life.
I am a weak person, and I hope that I can help people who have barriers to social life through painting, and I continue to work as a painter who can find not only how to paint but also how to live.
I would like to convey that "even the weak can change their way of life".
▽Goal
Nurturing humanity through art!
"Means" such as how to draw and explain art materials
"Intentionality" to gain fulfillment and confidence in one's own way of life through painting
"Techniques" to improve the quality of activities
We disseminate information in three main elements.
Awareness is deepening through the media, etc., but I feel the temperature difference and disparity with those around me and become truant from school.
I can't achieve results as a member of society and can't have strengths,
Due to mental and physical circumstances, I live in the shade and cannot live as I am, etc.
The number of people who have barriers to social life, such as lack of self-esteem, suffering from not being able to find originality in life, etc., is increasing year by year.
Based on the three major elements, even the weak can gain confidence and a sense of purpose in life and survive in society.
We are actively expanding information dissemination, provision, and consultation through this website!
・Establishment of atelier
I want to open a painting class and realize activities that not only cultivate humanity but also cultivate humanity and establish myself.
We want to provide a place where participants can gather with peace of mind.
Online system
Even if you have physical and mental circumstances, you want to provide valuable information using communication technology without being affected by physical factors.
I want to realize initiatives that can be shared and solved by a community.
・Art Team
I want to create a team that can make an impact on society and contribute to society through art.
