Odoroita

Acrylic on Canvas
910x910mm

This work was created as a study of expression and scale. I challenged myself to transform a fleeting look of surprise into a bold, immersive composition, proving that even the simplest image can command a large space.

Silver foil girl X.1.0

Silver Foil,Acrylic on Canvas
652x530mm

This series was created to explore the relationship between scale and perception. As the image gradually expands across three works, familiar details transform into abstract shapes, encouraging viewers to experience the same subject from entirely different perspectives.

Silver foil girl X.1.7

Silver Foil,Acrylic on Canvas
652x530mm

This series combines traditional Japanese silver leaf with a contemporary anime-inspired portrait. By expanding the image across three works, I explore the contrast between delicate craftsmanship and bold, modern composition.

Silver foil girl X.2.0

Silver Foil,Acrylic on Canvas
652x530mm

This silver leaf series explores how scale changes the viewer’s relationship with a single image. Across three works, the composition gradually expands, inviting the viewer to move closer and discover new details as the image grows beyond its original frame.

Silver foil girl (Square) No.10

Silver Foil,Acrylic on Canvas
410x410mm
I created this work to explore how simplicity can evoke emotion. By reducing the composition to essential shapes and combining them with traditional silver leaf, I invite viewers to find their own story within the character’s quiet gaze.

Silver foil girl (Square) No.13

Silver Foil,Acrylic on Canvas
410x410mm

This piece was created to capture a quiet moment of stillness. The simplified composition and reflective silver leaf encourage viewers to focus on the character’s subtle expression rather than dramatic action.

Hello my nane is Stickers

Oil-based on Sticker
85x57mm
“Hello My Name Is Sticker” is a daily drawing series created every morning. What began as a simple creative exercise has become a visual diary, where each sticker preserves a small moment of imagination before the day begins.

Cardbord series No.35

acrylic on Japanese on Cardboard
315x315mm
This work is part of a record-sized series created on recycled cardboard used in Japan’s distribution industry. By transforming an everyday shipping material into a painting, I explore the contrast between ordinary objects and contemporary Japanese pop imagery.

Cardbord series No.42

acrylic on Japanese on Cardboard
315x315mm

Using discarded cardboard from Japan’s logistics network, this series reimagines a material associated with movement and consumption. The record-sized format transforms everyday packaging into a lasting object of reflection.

Zodiac Sign (Face)

original digital art
2026
This work expresses the unique personalities of each of the 12 zodiac signs using only their faces; by depicting them from five different angles, it aims to evoke a sense of animation in the viewer’s mind.
