I used a technique of "drip and polish" with acrylic paints to create a fractal form, portrayed the concrete form by making use of the fractal form, and repeated further the "drip and polish". My aim was to create a fusion of the accidental form derived from the technique and the impression of the portrait itself.

Capturing the shape in terms of surface is a tradition of Western painting since Chiaroscuro. But if the shape is taken as a "color surrounded by lines," I find it oriental. The lines I drew indicate the place where the shape changes, which are called ridgelines. By decomposing the shape into lines and colors, I am seeking a style of expression that combines an Oriental flatness with a Western three-dimensional effect.

A human figure has always been the most important theme for me. I appreciate the encounters with excellent models that have bought my artistic standard to higher level.
The best effect from the technique of "analysis and synthesis of the colored regions" is that the conflict between colors and forms creates a new image. I think that value of colors and line-weight are important when creating such works.

One answer to the question of why I use acrylic paints is apparent in this work. That is because the technique of combining transparent and opaque expressions can be performed relatively quickly.
A still life depicts immovable objects, but the rhythm and movement come out depending on how the objects are assembled and how the colors and shapes are combined. Such a contradiction is what I cherish and is the concept of the work.
