Pikarin

草原の上に赤いシートを広げ向日葵色のワンピースを着た少女が座っている。少女はネックレスの十字架に右手をあて、本の上に左手を置き口角を広げて微笑んでいる。少女の手前には白いウサギが横向きで座っている。少女の後ろに雄ライオンが穏やかな表情で正面を見つめて横たわっている。ライオンの右奥にシマウマが左向きに歩いている。一番奥に木々、山脈、青空がある。

The Girl and the Lion (Original), 2023

I enjoy painting animals and often feature them in my works. When creating, I place great importance on “stories.” For this piece, I hope viewers will feel inspired to imagine their own unique story. The interpretation and perspective are entirely up to the viewer.

レンガ道を右を向いて走るピエロがいる。ピエロの足元で一緒に走る猫と犬は十字架のネックレスを着けている。レンガ道の奥には草原、山脈、夜空がある。空には満天の星と表情のある三日月がピエロを見ている。四頭のチョウがピエロと猫と犬の周りを飛んでいる。

Toward the Goal (Original), 2023

The time I dedicate to striving toward my goals is the most precious to me.

Even if those goals seem distant and almost unattainable, I wholeheartedly believe in their realization and commit myself to the things I trust with sincerity.

With reckless determination and single-minded focus, I press forward, indifferent to others who might laugh at my clumsy persistence.

It feels like running alone in the dark, but I know there are those who faintly illuminate my path, quietly support me from the sidelines, watch over me from afar, or gently push me forward.

Through these many ‘certain presences,’ I feel deeply connected and supported.

This piece is an expression of that image.
