Circle

My painting focus "fungus". This is  explored an interest I have had since childhood. I express "fungus" imaginarily and realistically into a comfortable dreamland.

My work often begins with photographs that I characterize and transform into new compositions and layered with many different colours.
Colour is emphasised dream-like, emotional, atmospheric like illustrated books for children or cartoons.
I manage elements such as illustration, graphic and textile design, children's books, cartoons and Japanese traditional paintings.

I use iwa-enogu and acrylic. Iwa-enogu is mineral pigments for Japanese style painting named Nihonga. Although I use iwa-enogu, I don't use Nihonga technique. First I paint  with acrylic, then paint with iwa-enogu decoratively. I just use iwa-enogu as a material of my artistic expression.
