Biography
大学では数学を、大学院では経営学を専攻。コンサルティングファームに勤務した後、起業。2019年より経営の傍らアーティスト活動を開始。2021年、社長退任と同時に東京から愛媛に移住。アーティスト、デザイナーとして活動中。デジタルメディアやテクノロジーを活用して、人々の心を動かす作品を制作。人間の感覚、社会課題、時代性、自然との関係など、さまざまなコンセプトに焦点を当てている。ペインターとしての表現を軸に、サイトスペシフィックな壁画、ストリートでのインスタレーションなど表現の幅は絵画にとどまらない。近年は作品に社会的なインパクトをもたせるため、ホテル、公共施設、企業と連携したアートプロジェクトのディレクションも。
For my university degree, I studied Mathematics and then did a Master's in Business. After a stint in consulting, I started my own business. In 2019, I also began exploring art. In 2021, I left my CEO role and moved from Tokyo to Ehime, diving deeper into art and design. I use digital tools to create art that speaks to the heart, exploring themes like human emotions, social issues, and our bond with nature. My art isn't just paintings; it includes murals and installations in public spaces. Lately, I've been leading projects with hotels, public spaces, and businesses to make art that makes a difference.
