Q: How do you create your own work?

First, I start my work by deciding on the theme I want to paint.
I expand on the images that come to mind when I think of the theme, organize the mind map in my head, and gradually turn it into an illustration.
Therefore, rather than drawing in all the elements at the rough draft stage, I gradually add elements as I proceed with the production, and finally complete it at the clean draft stage.

 

Q: What is your source of inspiration?

I've been familiar with classical and other music since I was a child. Nowadays I listen to a wide variety of music genres, and sometimes I listen to my favorite songs and think of themes from there. That's why sometimes there is a song that serves as the "original composition" for one illustration.
Another is to "come into contact with things you admire." For example, looking back at the things you liked as a student and asking yourself "Why did I like that?" and "Why was I so passionate about it?" can lead to new ideas for illustrations.

Q : What do you want to convey through your illustrations?

When I create a work of art, I believe that "each work has a different theme, and there is never just one way to express that theme."
When I create, I am always conscious of how to express something in a way that will accurately convey it.
Also, because there is not just one way of expression, I believe that even small elements can be enjoyable for the viewer, so I carefully bring out the elements.
