私は従来のアカデミズムの既成概念から解放され、伸びやかな作品世界を創造したいと考えています。ものや質感にこだわり続けて来た事から解放され、送り手と受け手の想像力の掛け合いで、絵画は無限に面白くなります。人間同士は同じにはなれません。個性と個性をつなぐには創造力という力をお互いに出し合ってはじめて理解し合えるのです。
人の意識や推測の届くところから遠ければ遠いほど、楽しめる時間は長く、又、人は言葉より先に感覚で世界を築くのです。理屈のいらない力のあるもの、屈託のない気楽さによって、絵画は言葉以上に人を遥かに遠いところまで連れ出し、退屈させず、心を癒すのだと思います。

I aim for my art to be free of stereotyped academicism, and to be unconventional. Once we free our mind and let it disregard the material and its quality, the mutual imagination of the creator and the viewer allows the art to develop itself, and to continue to do so infinitely. It is not possible for two individuals to synchronize completely. Only by using each other’s creativity as the communication tool two individuals can understand each other.
When an art offers a possibility that is deeper than one’s conception and beyond one’s inference, it is also offering a chance for the viewers to accept it intuitionally before the words capture their mind. With its powerfulness which makes logics to fade away, and its pureness which offers the viewers a peace of mind, the art is capable of reaching your heart closer than the words can do, and it liberates your mind, leads you to an unseen place, diverting it, and healing it.
