S t a t e m e n t
My concept is about relationship Art and Spirituality.
I explore the connection between spirituality and artistic expression.
During meditative states, I transfer the true nature of the inner unconscious
behind the mental and emotional phenomena on the art works.
In particular, I focus in capturing the expressions of the essential soul.
I believe that art expression (especially abstract expression) is
influenced directly by the state of the creator’s spirit.
I create abstract art using a variety of mixed media techniques,
incorporating materials like pastels, ink, pencils, acrylics, and sand.
My art work’s inspirations are from abstract expressionism, psychology,
spirituality including Shintoism, Buddhism, Astrology, and Nature.
