From an early age, I have perceived trees, flowers, and animals as sentient beings, and the wordless dialogues—or resonant emotional vibrations—shared with them have profoundly influenced the creative process. For me, creation is not an act of intentionally depicting something specific; rather, it is a process in which lines and colors born from emotional vibrations dance within the mind and gradually take form. It is not something to be learned, but simply one mode of expressive action that exists as an extension of spiritual inquiry.

Throughout life, sudden and repeated changes in living environments caused by external factors, along with constraints imposed by family and society, led to periods in which this expression was naturally suppressed. However, over time, the sensations of creating within the realm of imagination and the vibrations felt when encountering art began to gradually converge.

In 2020, while working in the interior design industry, a pivotal encounter prompted me to begin creating paintings on a computer for digital print wallpapers. The layered compositions made possible through digital print wallpaper design—capable of being arranged to suit interior spaces—later evolved into a unique creative technique that now informs my current painting practice, completed through the addition of real, physical brushwork.

Since 2021, I have shared works on social media, subsequently receiving many awards both in Japan and internationally. These achievements have led to exhibition opportunities overseas, including in New York and various cities across Europe. In recent years, notable milestones include participation in the 2025 New York Art Expo, exhibitions at the Salon d’Automne and Le Salon in Paris, France.

Artist Statement

Regarding “existence” and “mind,” I hold a singular philosophy within my own worldview, one that rejects all preconceived notions. At the foundation of my creative practice lies the eternal resonance of painting, shaped through a spiritual dialogue inherent in “existence” itself. I perceive the complex dynamic and static patterns that permeate nature as manifestations of space and time, and I intuitively sense and render the soul and emotions dwelling within the subject.

For me, painting is nothing other than the expression of these elements. At the same time, it is something eternal—something that transcends the boundary between “life” and “death.”
To elaborate further, depiction occurs when emotional vibrations resonating through the mind and body emerge within consciousness as lines and colors.

Only when an encounter and direct dialogue with “existence” on a spiritual plane becomes possible does something truly come to be drawn. In my creative work, superficial beauty and conventional systems of value hold no significance whatsoever.

All concepts are merely constructs created by humanity.
The impulses born from a sensory and emotional worldview—liberated into infinity, the unknown, and freedom—form the very foundation of my creation and, ultimately, shape my own “existence.”
