Paintings

The rain is beautiful.
Someday I want to be able to paint this rain in a picture.
I still remember thinking this when I was a child, looking out the window at the rain.
In retrospect, that may have been the beginning of my desire for expression.

My mother was an oil painter. Therefore, I naturally began to paint from an early age.
My favorite painter when I was a child was Leonardo da Vinci, just like my mother. Therefore, I preferred realistic paintings.
At that time, the more I painted, the better I got at it, and the more praise I received from my family and others, the more attractive art became to me.

Also, my family was not wealthy in Japan, so when I was a child, I had to hold back a lot of things I wanted compared to those around me.
But in painting, it was different. If I painted what I wanted, I could have it.
I tried to get satisfaction from painting.
I could also get things in my paintings that did not actually exist in the world.
It was a picture for me that made me realize my thoughts, “If there’s such a thing in the world.”

But that was not all.
In the summer when I was 10 years old, I came across a painting.
It was a picture that meant resurrection.
A ray of light appearing out of the darkness, that’s how I felt.
That is how my world of art has been since then too.
There is a shadow lurking somewhere, and the scene of breaking free from it came to mind.
I often wanted to paint pure and beautiful pictures, but the more I faced art, the more I just couldn’t paint anything that was beautiful and full of joy most of the time.
Even at a very young age, I wanted to paint pictures that would break the existing fetters and lead someone to a higher place.

Also, as a college student, I became fascinated with contemporary art sculpture and studied sculpture.
Since that time, I have become even more intrigued by the thoughts and ideas that go into artwork.

I like to express psychological.
I often draw people too.
People are elaborate, beautiful, and lacking.
I want to delve into the inner world of such people and help them where they are lacking and where they can grow more.
