Profile

Graduated from the Department of Painting, Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of the Arts, majoring in Oil Painting, in 2018.
After graduating, he worked as a designer in the game industry, and now works across the two fields of art and illustration.

Based on the concept of "an approach to painting that is only possible in a real world where the boundary between the digital and the physical is blurred," he creates and exhibits paintings using a variety of techniques, including printing out works created in a digital environment and then adding further refinements with painting materials.
Under the name "Hirose," he also works as an illustrator, working on a wide range of projects, providing illustrations for popular titles such as games and light novels both in Japan and abroad, and is garnering attention as one of the leading artists in the illustration scene.
As both an artist and illustrator, he is a rare presence, having previously illustrated Hatsune Miku.
