Do you still remember the route of the dream you saw at that time

At times, the soul is seized by a burning impulse.
Drawn by something unseen, some continue to run, even as they drag their weary feet.
They embody the spirit of those who seek transformation.
Meanwhile, others quietly watch over their restless movement.
From a distance, there is a balance between stillness and motion — two forces at play.
Those who observe embody the animistic spirit,
standing for what must be believed in and what must be protected
in a world that constantly shifts and reshapes itself.
The runners, on the other hand, may not yet know where they are headed.
And yet, their energy will one day be transformed —
giving birth to new souls on the canvas.
Believing in that moment to come,
I continue to paint the soul.

Artist
Painting artist
Graduated from Musashino Art University, Department of Oil Painting, Tokyo. After working as a game character designer for several years, She heads to France where she studies art for three years. In France, she began drawing creatures that appeared in his dreams. Those creatures she would also be influenced by in her game creation These become some of the themes she still explores today. She moved to Tokyo, New Zealand, and France, where she continued to pursue art as she felt. Why do people create things that cannot be seen? why do you feel the soul When she think about it, her hand moves and it becomes something's soul. She is currently creating works based on her "animism" at her atelier in Kamakura Japan. A city with history is a culture that believes in things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. The other day I asked the gardener to move a stone from my old folk house. He was afraid of the god that resided in the stone, asking, ``Is this stone safe to move?'' When I say to a child who lives near a shrine, ``God is always near you,'' He said, "Yes, I am protected by God." The reply came as if it were natural. We have always believed in things we cannot see Create it, fear it, or use it as food for your life. I continue to draw things that cannot be seen with the naked eye. Production is always born from questions, In order to solve this question, I put my vague thoughts on the screen. Make it possible to derive a solid answer visually. I will attempt several productions to express my questions from multiple angles. 2001 Graduated from Musashino Art University, Department of Oil Painting. Worked in Japan while working as a designer at a game company. 2005 Moved to Paris 2005 Enrolled in atelier “ACADEMIE DE LA GRANDE CHAUMIERE” 2005 Enrolled in Civilization Course at Paris-Sorbonne University (ELEMENTAILE2) 2006 Produced in Japan while working as a designer at a game company 2007 Enrolled in Paris Atelier "L'ACADEMIE DE PORT ROYAL" 2008 Worked as a sushi chef and artist only in the summer on Corsica (and then went to France only in the summer for three years) 2009 Returned to Japan Produced in Japan 2015 Moved to NZ; planned art exhibition for people with disabilities and held an exhibition as an immigrant 2019 He works as a vocational school lecturer and artist in France. 2021 Returned to Japan, built an atelier in an old folk house in Kamakura and started production activities Currently, I am obsessed with creating ``it'' while working as a drawing and character instructor.
