Bio.
Born in Japan, 2002.
At the age of 14, I began painting under the painter Takaki Takino.
I discovered the works of Hans Bellmer and found the endless freedom of art.
At the age of 17, I became acutely aware of death due to illness, so decided to live as a real professional painter.
After graduating from high school, without going to college, I began working in earnest and held some solo and group exhibitions.
As an artist, I continue to transmit my unique worldview of art.

Artistic Statement.
At the age of 17, I was at the mercy of my illness, and there were days when I was confused and almost despaired. What I realized there was that even in the midst of illness, the power that flowed through the human body was unchanging, and that inside of it, there was a beautiful expression that seemed to sing a hymn. I want to give shape to affirmation of human lives and sexuality with my own hands. At this time I decided to become an artist. Since then, everything I draw ends up with “human”. These works may appear grotesque at first glance. However, I continue to draw, believing that this reflects one truth as a living thing.
