絵の中の花たちは、私の代わりに歌ったり、踊ったり、遊んだり、飛んだり、寝たり、泣いたり、笑ったり、おしゃべりする。
せわしなく過ぎていく日々の中で見落としてしまう機微や、大人になって忘れたり抑えてしまう情感を表現する自由な子どもたち。


I grew up in a port town named Shiogama in Miyagi prefecture on the east coast of Japan in a house at the top of a mountain. In the mountain, flowers bloomed everywhere in the spring and fall, ships came and went in the ocean during summer, and snow covered our backyard in winter mornings. I remember those sceneries as I paint sometimes. The brightness of white canvases resemble the lights in the snow and I paint flowers on them.
I use shapes found in vegetations as motifs and create graphics based on them in my works. The iconography, colors, brush strokes, and texture are also important elements to me. I paint with intention, but at the same time paint like a child obeying to my feelings, condition, and, physical capacity of the time to translate unintentional elements onto the canvas.
