Things that have lasted hundreds of years have a certain majesty to them. I feel that the stately beauty borne from weathering time and tide is something that “novelty” cannot mimic. I studied graphic design, which was how I got to learn about different types of art. I started painting after becoming influenced by painters from the Muromachi Period to the Edo Period (1336 - 1868). I remember vividly being lost in the spatial composition and spectacular world of flowers and birds that they created in their art. Now, I would like to update that world of flowers and birds, and create a new world that retains the essence of Japaneseness, yet is light enough to blend in with modern spaces. I have blended classical beauty from before the Edo Period with the lightness of modern graphic visuals to form a new kind of harmony.
