Based in Tokyo.
I paint forms inspired by biological larvae and juveniles, as well as the new shoots and flowers of plants. These are soft and ambiguous stages that exist before reaching maturity, inviting us to imagine what shape they may eventually become. I depict these symbols of new life within landscapes that appear to be floating somewhere far away.
