幼い頃から絵を描くことが好きで､伝統工芸である友禅染の世界に入り､著名な友禅作家に師事。修業を経て独立して、長年にわたって着物の反物を制作してきました。
友禅の仕事は､着物の柄や決まりのある構成､商品としての制約の中で表現することが求められます｡
人生の折り返しを過ぎた頃に､そうした枠を離れて､もっと自由に描きたいと思うようになりました。
長年培った友禅の色彩や装飾性は､自然と作品に息づいています。
それらを自分の個性にしてジャンルにこだわらずに、心の赴くままに日々描いています｡
楽しみながら生み出した作品が､見る人に何か語りかける｡
そんな絵が描きいと思っています｡
From an early age, I have loved drawing and eventually entered the world of Yuzen,the traditional Japanese art of Kimono dyeing.
I apprenticed under a renowned Yuzen artist and, after years of training, became an independent artist, creating Kimono fabrics for many years.
Yuzen requires working within established motifs, compositions, and commercial expectations.
After reaching the midpoint of my life,I began to feel the desire to step beyond these boundaries and paint freely, creating what I truly wanted to express.
The colors, decorative qualities, and sensibilities I developed through many years of working with Yuzen naturally continue to appear in my paintings.
Rather than leaving them behind, I embrace them as an essential part of my artistic identity.
Tday, I paint freely and without being confined to a particular genre.
I hope to create works that I can enjoy marking, and that, in turn, speak quietly and meaningfully to those who view them.
