My Interests



I'd like to meet:



My work reflects my experienced memory. All figures appearing in my paintings are people who I have met and touched my heart in the real life. I regards, not only a person who has a perfect valanced bofy like a fashion model, every human has a potantial to express a beauty with using their body

My work reflects my experienced memory. All figures appearing in my paintings are people who I have met and touched my heart in the real life. I regards, not only a person who has a perfect valanced bofy like a fashion model, every human has a potantial to express a beauty with using their body

I am born and raised in Japan. My country is said a monocultural country where the majority of people shares the similar values and physical features. , For educational purpose, I moved to San Diego California, I have had so much surpise just by communicating with people of a polycultural country. I have shared living with students from over the world for all my college life.

The experience of closely living with people who carrying different cutural backgrounds have impacted me to think what is a ideal life of a co-existed soceit. To prove myanswer of that, I choose to express the soulful human figures through my art.

I hope to find an image to create a less violent society by spreading positive relationships with people of varying backgrounds.
