I fell in love with Van Gogh and began painting a picture. After a while, painting came naturally.
However, I didn’t know whether I could make it my profession since I’ve been here on this planet quite some time already. I’ve experienced various occupations, including therapist, sales representative, and teacher; never an artist. But I began painting anyway.
I think my strength is “abundant trivial knowledge”. Thank to this, my world is really plentiful, which has so many layers.
My art uses various mediums, such as oil, watercolor, acrylic, and pastel.
Topics range from political issues to objects, narrative themes and breathtaking natural beauty of a moment, but everything has a theme: anything that fascinates me. Recently, I’ve more focused on “human sadness” arising from poverty, war, or environmental threats. On the other hand, I enjoy the moment when I meet with the breathtaking beauty in nature.
幾つか普通の仕事を経て、ゴッホに惹かれて絵を描き始めた。仕事になるのかどうかは全く分からなかった。アーティストなど考えたこともなかった。すでに結構 この地球上に存在していた。でも、とにかく描き始めた。すると、絵を描くことが自然になった。
私の強味は雑学が豊富なことと言える。そのお蔭で世界が幾層にも重なり広がる。今、心惹かれた対象や物語のテーマを描いている。最近は特に貧困や戦争、環境問題等から生じる「人間の悲しみ」を絵にしているが、一方で自然の息を呑むような「美」に出会う瞬間を楽しんでいる。

Vincent van Gogh in his own words
Though I am often in the depths of misery, there is still calmness, pure harmony and music inside me.
（よく惨めさのどん底にいるが、私の中にはまだ静寂と完璧な調和、音楽が息づいている）
Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all.
（高みにある星と無限性にはっきりと気付くと人生は最終的に高まるように見える）
If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
（“描けない”という内なる声が聞こえたら、何が何でも描くんだ。するとその声は黙るよ）
