“Untitled“ 2024
Acrylic and oil pastel on canvas
200 x 375 cm
This painting is still something of a mystery to me.
Half of this overflows from inside me, but where does the other half come from?
I was facing and working it with the unknown strong energy that if I step back I could be swallowed up, and with the feeling that we are resonating with each other.
And I couldn’t find the title to fit it. The title may possibly change in the future, or it may remain untitled.
I would like to continue facing this work slowly.

All beings- 生きとし生けるもの
120cm x150cm.Acrylic, pencil and charcoal on canvas.2022
This series has 4 parts in total.
When I started this painting, it was a waterfall of light, brightly coloured of yellows. But then, after many layers of charcoal, pencil and acrylic, it took on a life force and duality that I felt strongly deep inside. The many yellow lights that were born in the beginning are still inner of the painting. Everything is connected.
この絵を描き始めたとき、それは光の滝のような、黄色の鮮やかな色彩の作品だったけど（過去にその時期のもポストしてる）描き進めていくうちに木炭、鉛筆、アクリルが何度も何度も重なって、削れて、また重なって、そうしていくうちに生と二面性を帯びて今の私が心の奥で強く感じていた事が“生きとし生けるもの“4作品として生まれた。最初の黄色の鮮やかな光たちはそのまま内側にある感じがして、繋がってるなぁと思った。

“Midpoint “ /Acrylic,pencil and pastel on Canvas.220cmx225cm
-The shadow of the living light-生ける光の影
Acrylic and pastel on Canvas/210cmx350cm
My way of painting has always been to get closer to my true self and don’t drafts before I start to paint on Canvas.Same with this artwork. I started by playing with colors, without a clear idea. During that process at some point, I lose myself in my deepest inner world. What I find there, I spit it out on my paintings. Every feeling, every truth, every vision. It took me over 6 months to finish this artwork. I kept on discovering new parts of my inner world. During these 6 months I listened to Hildegard von Bingen, who is famous for her otherworldly visions. I felt deeply connected to her and her works because my paintings envision existence, places, and things that does not exist in our reality. Something that is in-between. Something between light and shadow, conscious and unconscious.

Request painting ENZO.sushibar /2020
Acrylic,pencil and pastel on canvas (60x120cm)(sold out)
Berlinの寿司レストランENZOの店内に飾る作品の依頼を受けて制作に取り掛かりました。
“Organized chaos”、これは今回の作品のテーマでありタイトルでもあります。このテーマを元に、自分なりにそれを噛み砕いて感じながら制作に向かいました。
Where there is no chaos,
There is no organization.
Where there is no organization,
There is no chaos.
Little by little I crunched those words with my heart and while doing so I started playing with colors.
The outcome?
An organized chaos.

生きる力 Zest for living-My diary series
610x910cm.Acrylic, pencil and pastel on Canvas(sold out)
この作品はカナダ・トロントにいた時に普段の制作とは少し違った、もっと日記的感覚で制作した作品。
姉の第三子出産時に起きた小さな命の生と死の狭間。
私はただただ遠くから願う事しかできなくて、けどその後その小さな命はたくましく、力強く回復して、私にとって生命の力強さや生死について考えさせられる2度目の出来事でした。
普段当たり前のようにある命は当たり前ではなくいつも生と死は隣り合わせ。
けれど生命の力は本当に力強く、暖かく、光り輝いているんだなぁと感じて大きなくくりでそこから感じた思いや感覚をこの作品に込めました。日記のように。
