| We visited the atelier which was located in the approach side of Nanzenzi
temple. Her atelier stood in the still residential area. "I have drawn
a picture since I reached the age of discretion. At the time of elementary
school, I wrote my future dream "being a painter" in my composition.
I had no other way to be a painter." When she was a student, the first she majored in the graphic design, after she was graduated from school, she was interested in the oil painting. She learned the oil painting from Shinich Yamada who was the leader of Kyoto art world. She wrestled with the oil painting in earnest and won the prize in the second year.. "I won the prize and felt a response afterward. I became independent from a teacher in search of freer expression. I came to put distance with the authoritative prize and art group. I wanted to draw which I wanted to really draw, freely. Thus I came to hold a private exhibition for ten years since then. Painting which I wanted to draw gave me much pleasant, after I changed the stance, I think width of expression spread and drawing the picture is the most pleasant thing for me" She was invited to the plan exhibition last year and the fans of her picture spread in this way. |
 Draw the charm of flower "gentle wind" |
 "Sorrow emotion" Though accepting the solitude of a large city, the young woman feels sorrow. In the background, the sight of weary city spreads and reflects in her feeling. |
 "Burst passion" She drew the beautiful figure of female. As the lotus flower which bloomed in the muddy water was beautiful, as the same, she wanted to draw the female beauty in the chaos. |
| The style of painting seems to change, but, she draws the flower and female
mainly. According to her words" Not to draw the beauty of merely figure, I want to express a delicate ooze from the inside complexity of the woman". The expression of the woman whom she draws is really impressive and may brow up imagination that "Does this person think what to be?" at the same time, I am charmed by the beauty. |
 "Broken the water sound" Drew the anxiety and expectation of the adolescence. |
 "Crevice of staring moment" Drew about the chaos and instability of the woman's inside. Her melancholy feeling is reflected in the room which is full of the brocade and disquieting indication sign. |
"The flower fades away in due time,therefore I wish to draw the most beautiful moment of the flower".
Her works which I described feels the gentleness like the woman. Her characteristic of using the color, especially indigo,purple,impresses not only the depth,but also light and comfortable,and at the same time feels the fantastic charm. She draws a portrait which is pleased with the present of the Memorial Day or special event of our life. |
