ARTIST STATEMENT

It is important for me to paint images that are outside of
myself. In order to take in the unexpected and look at the
subject from a new perspective.

In my paintings, there is a definite object in view. However, I try to obscure the parts that can be denied by words, such as names, situations, and meanings. By doing so, I And an image that I have never seen before in and the image that I have seen before.

I want to give form to these images in the form of paintings. It is a desire to own images that I and interesting, and to express and preserve the faint sense of discomfort in everyday life.
