　　I draw and paint on the basis of study on the 20th-century abstract paintings,
　especially those by Paul Klee, pursued since my college years under the instruction
　of Makoto Miyashita, a professor of iconology. I segment the surface by vividly
　colored subsurfaces and draw simple forms, just as in ukiyo-e and 80's video games,
　using colored pencils and watercolors, sometimes with acrylic and Indian inks.
　　Recently, I introduced dripping technique into my work on the basis of study on
　action painting, especially that of Sam Francis, to disturb and further vitalize vivid
　and simple surfaces. Furthermore, given a hint by Klee's unique collage, I cut or
　wrinkle papers, my support media, and combine several of them to reconstruct
　them into a paper.
　　I am, like mothers and fathers of abstract painting, fascinated by abstractness
　of music stirring the imagination, so I use methods of dripping and collage as if
　picturizing and remixing melody, rhythm, and harmony of electronic music.
