I'm drawing a character called Europy. Europy is a supermodel of contemporary art. I named it Europa because it came from the planet Europa. He is 175 cm tall, but nothing else is known. The Europy model is a Russian woman I bumped into in Minami Aoyama when I was 20 years old, right behind me.

I brought the concept of characters, which is common in Japanese society, into contemporary art. I think it's just a Western woman, but it has the name Europy and it has a setting. We are proud that the style in which the painter creates characters and continues to draw is an epoch-making method that has never been seen before. This is an application of manga and animation techniques to contemporary art.

However, even if you don't really need such a concept, I would like you to see the beauty of a woman named Europy.

People who actually see the paintings often say that the colors are beautiful.
