Artist Statement 私は幼少の頃から母の影響をとても受けてる。母親は、立場を関係なく人を受け入れる寛容で自由なポジティブな人物であった。 家族は東京生まれだが、父の仕事で日本の各地に住んだ。 が、現代の様に食べ物、衣服等、物が溢れていなかったので、家族の感覚に合わないものが多く、ほとんどが母の手作りであった。

私は、その手作りの作業に幼少の頃から興味を持ち、何かしら参加しないと気がすまなかった。、ART制作、モノ作りの原点はそこにある。 と同時に、各地に住んだ事で、明るい色彩感覚が養われた。その中で、母の自由と寛容、希望の生き方に影響され、日記の様に明るい絵を毎日描いていた。

高校時代に将来は、何か自分で表現して作ったものを仕事にしたいと考え、20歳を過ぎてから、まずは、広告等のイラストレーションの仕事を始めた。 始めて行ったNew Yorkでアンディ・ウォーホルと会い、空間の捉え方や、作品の構成が面白いとアドバイスを受けて、その後の作品制作のヒントとなった。 その後、作品も大きくなり、立体作品、空間構成の仕事に携わった。その後、軸足をARTに移した。作品に込める思いは、子供の頃の思いがベースになり 『私はArtを通して、国、人種、宗教に関係なく普遍性をメッセージとして伝えたい』と大きなものになった。が、この複雑な時代にそのメッセージは大きすぎて、ぼやけてしまうと気づいた。もう一度原点に戻り、人々の歴史や思いに焦点を当てた。

シンボリックなもの（富士山、自由の女神等）に私独自のカラーリングする事で、違う視点でそれらの新たな側面を見てもらいたい。

アインディンテティーを感じて共通点を見つけられたらと思う。

自由と寛容と希望に満ちた母と影響を受けた私の生き方で、差別があってはならないと言う、同じ視点です。 I have been strongly influenced by my mother since I was a child. My mother was tolerant, free, positive, and accepting of all kinds of people. My family was born in Tokyo, but we lived all over Japan by my father’s work. However, since food and clothing were not as plentiful as they are today, many things were not to the family’s taste, and most of them were handmade by my mother.

I became interested in my mother’s handmade works from an childhood and wanted to participate in some way. That is the origin of my make art works.

At the same time, my experience of living in different parts of the world has nurtured my sense of bright colors. I was influenced by my mother’s way of life, which was full of freedom, tolerance, and hope.

Every day, I would draw bright pictures as if they were diary. When I was in high school, I began to think that in the future I wanted to work with what I created and expressed.

After I turned 20, I first started working on illustrations for advertisements and other media. On my first visit to New York, I met Andy Warhol, who advised me that "the way my works perceives space and composition is interesting," which led to the creation of my subsequent works. On my first visit to New York, I met Andy Warhol, who advised me that "the way my works perceives space and composition is interesting," which led to the creation of my subsequent works. Later, my works became larger and larger, and I began to work on three-dimensional works and spatial compositions. Later, I shifted my focus to fine art.

The thoughts I put into my works are based on my childhood thoughts, and my great desire to convey a universal message through art, regardless of country, race, or religion. However, in these complicated times, I realized that the message was too big and blurred. We went back to the basics once again and focused on the history and thoughts of the people.

By adding my own coloring to symbolic objects (Mt. Fuji, Statue of Liberty, etc.)

Fuji, the Statue of Liberty, etc.), I hope that people will look at them from a different angle and see them from a new perspective. At the same time, I hope that people will feel it as a new form of symbolism and be energized by it. Aspects of people with various stances and identities.

It is the way my mother and me full of freedom, tolerance, and hope, the same perspective without discrimination.
