Biography
I began to draw at 3 years old with a pencil.
I stared going to a calligraphy school at 4 years old.
When I enrolled at schools in the childhood, surrounding people said I was so talented as an artist who got a bunch of awards.
I learned the basics in preparatory art schools in Japan to be a professional artist and to enroll at art university: however, I could not fulfill my dream of it there even though I was a ronin several times.
After then, I studied English through liberal arts in a University and I got AA degree and I enrolled at San Francisco Art Institute.
Studying fine art which was included an art history and theory as painting major in America was a great experience for me and I got BFA degree at the art school.
Moreover, I studied modern art in New York City to appreciate masterpieces in museums. I decided to be an international one once again at the time.
One of my dreams is to go to a variety of museums in the world because there are a bunch of marvelous art that is like an unknown artistic world for me.
Artist statement
I am a painter with oil colors.
My paintings are often used with an abstract expression with a variety of art supplies.
I am intended to stand at the pinnacle of American modernism that is still processing for me today.
The destination of mine as a painter is never achieved yet.
Art is my life itself.
