Since childhood, I have loved drawing rather than exercising. My father was a shipyard outfitting designer, and the back of the unused blue drawings was a good doodle book. Since I was 30 years old, I have been carrying a small-sized sketchbook with me and continuing to sketch every time I go somewhere (now I have more than 1000 sheets). I paint landscapes that resonate with me in my casual daily life. I hope to provide time for the viewer's heart to be enriched through painting.
