ありとあらゆるものが一瞬でつながり、欲しいものがすぐ手に入る時代。我々は物質的な豊かさを手に入れる代わりに、休む暇もなく急かされ、振り回され、日々の生活のなかで、自身の存在価値を見失うことも多い。自身もその例外ではない。立ち止まって自分と向き合い、内側に意識を向け、掘り下げた先にある強い光を見つけたい。
私はこうした思いを作品に反映する。
抽象表現によって無意識下に抑圧されている精神を解き放ち、
同時に黒一色で心象風景をプロットする。
そこから内へ内へ意識を向け、自分自身を掘り下げが如く、
何度も黒を削りとるという新たな技法を用いて、白を浮かび上がらせる。これは絵画表現における描くことからの脱却でもある。
そして、この白は紙の白とは異なり、私の美意識（緩急や直線・曲線といった相反する二面性の共存）を反映したコンポジションの結果生まれる白以上の白であり、私が追及する強い光の正体である。
We live in an age in which everything is connected in an instant,
and everything we want is at our fingertips. In this age of
instantaneous connectivity and instant gratification, we are
rushed and swept along without a moment’s rest, and often lose
sight of the value of our own existence in the midst of our daily
lives. I am no exception. I want to stop, face myself, turn my
attention inward, and find the strong light that lies ahead when I
dig deeper. I reflect these thoughts in my work. I use abstraction
to unleash the spirit suppressed in the unconscious, and at the
same time, I plot mental landscapes in black.
From there, I turn my attention inward, as if to delve deeper into
myself, and use a new technique of repeatedly scraping off the
black to reveal the white.
This is also a departure from writing in pictorial expression.
Unlike the white of paper, this white is more than a white that is
the result of a composition that reflects my aesthetic sense (the
coexistence of opposing dualities such as slow and fast, straight
and curved lines), and is the true nature of the strong light I
pursue.
