It is created based on personal feelings received from the body, plants, natural phenomena, etc. In the production process, we are exploring the relationship between perceptual and cognitive phenomena that seek meaning excessively and the existence of paintings.

At first glance, Fukuda’s paintings captivate with their striking visual impact, yet this initial clarity is deceptively fleeting. What appears to be a singular, identifiable form quickly unravels, revealing layers of complexity that elude immediate recognition. This shift invites the viewer on a dynamic visual journey, where elements fuse in an intricate interplay of sight and touch, encouraging personal connections and interpretations.

Sensually rich and conceptually engaging, Fukuda’s work evokes curiosity—a drive to question, to explore beyond the surface. These paintings challenge our perceptions, asking us to reconsider our relationship with materiality in a culture that often leans toward uniformity and homogeneity. Ultimately, Fukuda’s art is an invitation to probe beneath appearances, embracing the mysteries hidden within.
