The main theme of my works is nature and most of them are the landscape nearby my house, pictures of flowers, still lifes of the things in my room.
I also draw landscapes of foreign countries I visited when I traveled as a backpacker.
The painting materials I mostly uses are oil and pastel.
So, I make ground of my oil paintings, oil, and paint because colors become more vivid.
I create a joyful and slightly dreamy world in my works, trying to make people feel happy.
I wish to create artworks that can give people who see them fresh pleasure forever.

The subject of my works is "nature". The main motifs are the scenery near my home, flowers, and still life around me.
I also paint the scenery of foreign countries that I visited as a backpacker when I was young.
My main painting materials are oil and pastel.
The most important thing for me when creating is color. Therefore, I make my own primers, soluble oils, and paints. This way, the colors come out better and are more vivid.
The world I paint is a bit fantastical, and I hope that the viewer will feel comforted and happy when looking at my work.
I do not follow a temporary fashionable style, but rather create a world that will feel fresh even after many years.
