古代の像

Educational background, awards, qualifications

1983-1985

Tokyo Designer Academy

Wanting to become an illustrator, I enrolled in the graphic design department. For the first time in my life, I learned how to draw with charcoal in hand.

1985-1988

Academie Julian

Paris - France

L'art graphique

France - Paris

Academie Julian

Graphics Department

I moved to France because I was fascinated by Utrillo's paintings.

I enrolled in the same studio where Matisse studied.

It is also the atelier that gave birth to the Nabis school.

Walk through the streets of Paris and discover the real thing.

By coming into contact with different races, cultures, and languages, I was able to rediscover a wide range of values. Through this diverse experience, I was reminded of the depth of traditional Japanese culture.

Using charcoal, pencil, pieces of wood, etc., students learn to express on paper light and shadow, the curves of the human body, and the distortions and sagging of hidden parts that cannot be seen.

Learn the expression of the human body thoroughly from the basics.

I was impressed by Michelangelo's drawings.
