２D Works

Using a variety of mediums, including oil paint, acrylic, watercolor, and drawing, I create works exploring the mind, phenomena, and the relationships between people and things. A key aspect of my practice is visualizing invisible concepts and sensations, sometimes expressing them in the form of characters. I also work across a wide range of approachable and playful forms of expression, including illustration.

Live Painting

I extend my practice beyond the studio, creating spontaneous large-scale paintings in a variety of settings, including natural environments and commercial spaces. Through collaborations with other forms of expression, such as spoken word and music, I create works and experiences that can only emerge in that particular place and momentIn live drawing sessions featuring visitors as subjects, I aim to capture not only each individual’s unique character, but also the atmosphere of the space and the connections between people. Through the artwork, I share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with others, giving form to memories that belong uniquely to that time and place.

３D Works

I create simple, tactile sculptural works using materials such as clay and paper mache. I value the distortions and unexpected expressions that arise through the handmade process, leaving the warmth and imperfections of the materials as an integral part of the work.

Portrait projects

Portraits can hold deep meaning for the people portrayed and those who know them well, while they may not necessarily hold the same value or interest for others.

Through portraiture, this project explores the questions of “What gives something value?” and “What captures people’s interest?” By approaching portraiture in various ways, I examine and rediscover human relationships, connections with society, and the value we place on things.

I also see portraiture as a unique tool for connecting with strangers in different places. As part of the project, I draw people I meet while traveling, capturing them together with the landscapes and atmosphere of the places where we encounter one another.

Exhibitions

I regularly exhibit my work in Japan and Singapore.
