Happiness of Large Outline

I want to bring happiness to you through my artworks. I don’t think happiness has a fixed shape. I think you can be happy depending on how you feel. Therefore, not everyone who sees my artwork will be happy. But don’t you think a work of art has a lot of power? People ask me, “Did you make all of these?” or “Why did you work so hard?” or “It’s a lot of work…” Even if it is not the main point of the work, it may be the first experience for you to see it, or you may have a similar experience, although the content is different, and you can relate to it in life. I hope that my artwork has a positive impact, such as “I don’t know what it is, but I’m interested in it,” or “It cheered me up. I would be happy if I could be a part of your life in that way, and I think that would be happiness. That’s why pink and sweets are so cute and make me extra happy.

Changes

I have experienced many things in my life, and recently my artwork seems to have changed a little compared to what it was over a decade ago when I started making it.

One of my best friends wrote me a letter, “I think your works are a byproduct of your way of life.”

Like that, my artworks are my life itself and seem to be closely connected to what I am thinking at that moment and time.

Before, I used to think that if I didn’t say it clearly, people wouldn’t understand what I was thinking. So I defined my cuteness and expressed it straightforwardly.

However, I may have over-formulated it, and it gradually began to feel like I was acting it out. You might also say that I realized that there are many other ways to communicate.

So I tried colors other than pink, incorporated paintings, unleashed them freely, and did new things.

This time, I will keep the pink that I cherish, but for the first time, I will create a work of art in which fake confectionery does not exist.

I hope that my artwork this time will not be an attempt to become this kind of person, but rather a manifestation of my current self.
