【人間と動物と生活の友和とは】

私の全ての作品テーマである、「Humanimaliving®」「ヒューマンアニマルリビング」を表現したものでございます。Human (人）+Animal（動物）+Living（生活）を一つの言葉に融合させたもののこと表します。いろんな人、動物、自然、食べ物、建物、家具、道具、生きているもの、そうでないもの、みんなそれぞれには、魂があって、思い、個性、色があり、共に生かされております。人間と動物と生活のルーペを通して見ると、奥深い麗しさ、楽しさ、優雅さ、が心の中から満ちあふれる様に願った作品でございます。
そして、私が描く絵は吉兆絵画でございます。日本古来の伝統的な幸せのしるし、縁起が良くおめでたい文様を描き、観ていただく皆様の幸せを願って描かせていただきております。

楽しい思い出、何歳になっても胸がワクワク暖かくなる気持ち、純粋な瞳の輝き、そして世界中のみんなの笑顔、世界平和を願い、
毎日、幸せな出来事が訪れるといいな。

融合して誕生した“生き物”をカラフルな色使いの色彩、形で表現しております。

いったいそれぞれ、どんな表情を魅せるのでしょうか？
私の世界を探検して頂ければ幸いだと存じます。

Artist Statement:
Art is my identity, my way of expressing, and the comfortable forms of communication and connection with other people. Using pen as a tool to sketch freely, I begin a piece by sketching unconsciously. Then I use different vivid multi-layers of colors and shapes. The colors are layered with paints of different transparency to express depth. By layering paints using brushes of different widths in millimeters, the colors blend from a distance, and the vibrant colors overflow into the viewer'seyes when up close.
My paintings are auspicious. My work represents the “Modern auspicious art work.” I paint traditional Japanese signs of happiness, auspicious and joyous patterns, wishing for the happiness of everyone who sees them. The painting expresses Humanimaliving®, which is the theme of all my works. Humanimaliving® is a term I made when I was a university student back in 2005, which is a portmanteau of the words "humans," "animals," and "life." My artworks are powerful, comical, and affectionate. Representing the happiness and gratitude. Wishing for the world peace, and everyday happiness.
My original world ”Humanimaliving®” -The harmony of both “Human”,”Animal” and ”Life” present living and breathing creatures on canvases. I use colors, and textures to express dynamic and organic forms. I emphasize in my paintings the complex feelings of animal, human being and living life style around us. My work reflects upon our intricate relationship with the environment. Expressing the feelings that each human being has an individual face and personality. Animals too have different appearances and characters. Things around us have feelings, souls, and that living creatures are all alike in that way.
I want people to shrink and enter into my world of “Humanimaliving” physically as well as emotionally.
