SOLD OUT

I first learned how to draw by copying manga.
After studying Nihonga in college, I worked as an advertising designer and later decided to make painting as my main career.
For several years, however, I could not define my artistic style.
My style changed from exhibition to exhibition and in the end, I shut myself up in my studio for four years.
This period, as a result, gave me a chance to get back to my true nature and create my current style, ‘Psycological Collage.’
In this style, various methods of expression that reflect inner diversity and fluidity are juxtaposed on a canvas that is divided into frames like manga.
Instead of negatively considering myself as an artist who is lacking focus, by acknowledging my nature, I have become able to express my true feelings through my works.
