Artist Statement:
Having started painting
relatively late in life, I
have always had this notion
that I am not yet a very
technically skillful artist.
However, as I gain experience,
I think I'm becoming more
comfortable with the medium.
Nevertheless, when I'm in
front of the canvas I'm always
fighting to balance technique
with inspiration. I search for
a combination of colors that
spark my spirit and the
emotions I hope to express.
At once calm, yet subtly
intense, my work seems to
linger on the fringes between
reality and otherworldly
space. I usually use a simple
motif and try to put as much
feeling as I can into whatever
I'm depicting. Simplicity is
always my guiding principle.
During my short career as an
artist I have been fortunate
enough to be able to exhibit
not only in Japan but
internationally as well.
Connecting with both artists
and art enthusiasts in other
parts of the world is of
course gratifying in itself,
but it has also made me
realize that people are not
all that different, regardless
of where they are from.

| Your Personal Biography |
Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan. Takatomo moved to Los Angeles in his early twenties where he soaked up the sun and a new life overseas. It was there that he attended LAMA (Los Angeles Music Academy) in 2000, to study drumming with some of the best musicians in the industry. It was not until much later, coming back to Japan after several years abroad, that he discovered another form of passion in painting.
In Japan, he started taking a drawing class once a week, and gradually found himself immersed in making art. Within a couple of years, he was presented with opportunities to exhibit at small galleries and alternative spaces around the country. In 2009, he participated the World Art Expo '09 in Orange County in Southern California, as well as the group exhibition, “Japanese Spirit” at the Opera Gallery in Budapest Hungary. |
