Work Details
Title of work: When I was young
When I was young, I was an imaginative, active boy.
There were times when I was disliked by many of my classmates, and there were times when I was liked.
I was daydreaming, and there were places where I wanted to stand out. But I loved being alone too.
I still remember seeing my mother pick me up after work at the community center that sets in the evening.
A past that I can never go back to, but it's a past that's burned into my mind. A precious memory, dusk.
Sometimes, it suddenly comes back to life.

Artist
Outsider Artist
My name is Takuya-Inoue-Higa.
I usually go by the name Takuya Inoue, but I am also proud of my Okinawan roots and my mother’s maiden name, Higa, which I now use together as my artist name.
I have been diagnosed with ADHD, ASD, and schizophrenia, and I have also experienced bipolar disorder.
I have walked a difficult path in life in my own way, but three years ago, at the age of 36, I encountered the world of painting. Since then, I have been self-taught and continue to create my work to this day.
My artistic style mainly consists of abstract paintings filled with messages such as sorrow, loneliness, pain, passion, philosophy, hope, and love.
I paint almost every day. In particular, I draw inspiration from music, weaving the messages that rise up within me into my paintings as I work.
I hope to continue creating many works and, whenever opportunities arise, to exchange and exhibit new paintings with others.
Thank you very much for your support.
