"I loved drawing from a young age when I was about 3 years old, and before I knew it, I was drawing on drawing paper. When I was in elementary school, I was awarded an award in a sketching contest and loved art classes until high school. But when I entered the Faculty of Foreign Languages at university, I just liked drawing rather than painting."
Harumi Yuki, who has been exposed to painting since she was a child, has not graduated from art school. After graduating from university, he worked as a CAD operator at a company writing drawings. As the months go by, an event occurs that changes Yuki's life after the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, which is relatively new to everyone's memory. What happened to Yuki-san, and how did she go on the path to painting? Mr. Yuki told me about the situation at that time.
"There were many times when I felt grateful for what I have now, but there was nothing at that time, but a year later, around May 2012, I started hearing various things from space. When I was meditating, I started to hear a lot of things. So I quit my job and decided to get a license to get a massage at home and start working. Then, for some reason, when I touch other people's bodies, I see various things. It's like that person's past life."

The snow is beautiful
A mysterious painting in which hands move from the voice of the universe
My encounter with painting began in childhood.
Faithfully moving the hand that came down from space
"So I started doing fortune-telling-like work such as healing and reading with the body. I feel like I'm working as a painter as one of them. I also visit overseas and various parts of Japan several times a month to purify the land and greet the gods."
Yuki accesses the Akashic Records, which contains all data such as the past, present, future, and past lives in space, and mainly works to support and advise customers on their problems. Yuki, who has mysterious powers, says that he started writing when he was told by the universe to "draw" and started writing. We asked Yuki what kind of commitment she has to her drawings.
"To be honest, I don't have any particular preferences of my own, and I faithfully depict what came down from space as it is, and I try not to put too much of my own intentions into it. I want to do it like this," and I take what comes down and move my hand as it is. My hand moves like an automatic scribe, and before I know it, I feel like I've already finished drawing. So I don't have many works that are unique to me, and I think it will fit when I was able to properly express what came down from space on paper."

I want to deliver my paintings to many people even if I am far away.
"I love not only painting, but also looking at paintings, and when I go abroad, I usually go to museums. There are many painters I like, such as Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Gustav Klimt, Alphonse Mucha, etc. My favorite among them is Picasso."
He said that he is happy when the intentions of the universe are well drawn on paper. He said with a smile that the happiest thing about working in the art industry was that there was a painting that I thought had the intention of the universe as it was, and just when I thought it was about to say goodbye, it sold the next day. The paintings that Yuki-san, who are connected to the universe, are full of charm. We asked Yuki, who said that she also likes to look at paintings, about her future dreams and thoughts on paintings.
"I would be happy if my drawings would reach many people in need around the world, regardless of Japan. As well as drawings, I often send reports through remote Zoom or email exchanges during readings. Even though we are far apart, I want to continue to deliver my thoughts and values to many people. In that sense, the web solo exhibition is wonderful."
