There is a joy in painting something that drifts in and out of a person. It is not to faithfully reproduce the person.
I am happy if I can embody what I feel in the person in a selfish way. Before painting, I mainly sketch the eyes, but other parts of the face are often drawn randomly, so the face is often different from the person in question, but I do not mind. However, I don't like to intentionally deform a person's face. I want to keep that in mind because I feel something because the person is there. The same is true of the backgrounds, which I have created as I feel them.
For me, "feeling" (things) is the most important object.
