STATEMENT
I am an artist, a doctor, and a monk, and from my various experiences growing up in a family of monks and doctors, I believe that my mission is to “use my paintings as a communication device to brighten the world and to give energy to people”. I’m putting my hope that people will bravely navigate through the uncertain times of our modern society on the canvas.
My paintings are abstract art, and they are inspired by the historical currents of innovative art movements such as Fauvism, Cubism, and Expressionism, which emerged in Paris over a hundred years ago, and I strive to capture the spirituality I perceive by confronting my inner consciousness. I express this spirituality using colors and forms inspired by Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism.
