Statement
Doodles in the corners of textbooks and notebooks during my school days were the starting point of my painting.
His visual images are influenced by Japanese illustration, manga, and graphic design of the 80s and 90s.
He uses acrylic paints because he believes that the rubbery, lightweight materiality of acrylic paints meshes well with the images and colors he paints.
In this way, he pays attention to the relationship between the visual image, the base material, and the painting material in the creation of his paintings.
