Profile

Born in Aichi Pre. in 1978. He has been expressing himself in the pictures as if he were digging up his innermost part since he was around 20 years old. He paints dozens of pictures every day, resulting in a colossal number of works in diverse styles. Received no education in art, his free and uninhibited style and technique characterizes his work. He keeps painting what he sees in his mind at a ferocious pace.
