Things I want to paint … that is the internal organs and a woman in the nude as its container. As many people feel flowers are beautiful, I feel the blood and the internal organs beautiful.
She as a container is lead to be alive with jealousy and grudges. I feel jealousy and grudges are the most humanistic quality among all the feelings. As I am very jealousy person and I would like to eliminate these feeling if it all possible. She is not allowed to die until she pays off her grudges as long as these ugly feelings are a base of human life.

Why I keep these subjects for my paintings?
I would like to be forgiven these feelings supposed to be hidden in daily life. Don’t you agree you have thought of these, at least once?

Almost all women in my paintings are with blank expression. The feelings in my paints that transform by the viewers and myself have many words and expressions. I avoid to paint a perfect body figure. I consciously imagine an ordinary woman to describe the common feelings.

Whatever the theme is I strongly believe the lines must be accurate and have a beautiful composition. Especially dealing with internal and external ugliness the lines must be beautiful and spacing is important. I once tried to fill out all spaces but that was not the space I imagined and stopped to draw the background. The void space is necessary and important as a single stem flower is beautiful on the wall of a teahouse.
