He finds photographs of buildings around the world, vast landscapes, interesting creatures, people, ordinary utensils, and food, and paints them exactly as he sees them, with single-minded precision. The countless shades of green are particularly beautiful. He perceives red and green as the same color, so blue-and-white porcelain pots appear as a soft pink, and people’s faces appear as a light green.

Born in Kobe, Hyogo in 1995.
Graduated from Kansai University, Faculty of Systems Engineering, Department of Physics and Applied Physics in 2018.
After working as a systems engineer at Fujitsu Ltd., left the company in 2021 to pursue a career as an artist.
Using quantum physics as a point of departure, his practice explores the notion of “approximation”—an operation that simplifies complex subjects—in a broader sense, treating it as a concept that encompasses not only an object and one of its aspects, but also the differences and relationships between them.
By imbuing diverse materials such as semiconductors and chemical substances with meaning, he seeks new possibilities of expression that reflect his lived experience within the accelerating information society and the age of AI.

The story I had been nurturing since childhood gradually incorporated autobiographical elements and continued to evolve, eventually featuring numerous characters moving through multiple narratives. I often translate these stories into manga and paintings. I actively participate in open-call exhibitions, visit museums and art supply stores to explore various techniques, and strive to improve my skills daily.

Although the works are “drawn as seen,” they appear to be deformed. The colors also do not shy away from deviating from the actual colors. The driving force behind the drawings is the love shared with loved ones such as family and friends. Recently, the artist has been exploring new territory with a “pop and cute” style.

“That’s it! I’ve got it!” With that exclamation, the drawing progresses rapidly. The beauty of the lines is exquisite, and as the artist becomes engrossed in the work, their heart races, and they whisper, “It’s shining,” while intently staring at the tip of their pen.
As a big fan of Arashi, she has clear favorites in anime, such as characters from “Demon Slayer” and “Pokémon,” and drawing them is her happiest moment. She continues to expand the range of things she can draw, such as still lifes in the theme colors of Arashi members. Even now, she often infuses the colors and decorative shapes she uses with the meanings of Arashi members’ colors.

As a big fan of Arashi, she has clear favorites in anime, such as characters from “Demon Slayer” and “Pokémon,” and drawing them is her happiest moment.
