Artist Statement:
Currently I am working on the
series called "Koto" or "Old
Capital City", which contains
a series of Japanese cultural
images that features themes
from the world’s oldest novel,
"The Tale of Genji". The
series uses classical
techniques to create realistic
images and symbolic forms.
Another series in "Koto"
called "Noh Mask series", and
I wanted to express intangible
human feelings and the
emotional conflicts created
from the deep, dark side of
the human mind at this series.
Also, another series called
the "Time on the Earth" series
contains paintings that
combine figures and elements
of earth/nature to talk about
time and changes on the Earth.
I think all creatures
including nature and humans
are beautiful and I always
have appreciated them. At the
"Time on the Earth" series, I
am seeking beauty in both
nature and the human figure as
well.
