Chimayo Church
Oil on Canvas
Size: 65.2 W x 53 H x 2 D cm
Chimayo Church, an adobe-style sanctuary located in New Mexico, America, is known for “Holy Dirt”, believed to heal those who rub it over the part of their ailing body.
Surrounded by mountains, roses, and golden autumn trees, the light brown church harmonizes with nature.
A 40-minute drive will take you to Santa Fe, where the orange sky spreads out. It feels like something is showering over you.
From the church and the sky, you might hear the voice of God.
I expressed the voice in this painting.

The Song
This artwork captures a fleeting moment of the morning sea in Japan. The moisture rising from the ocean fills the air, reflecting the bright red light of the sun. The red glow of the sun spreads through the air, and abstractly depicted light and colorful water splashes convey the energy of a new day beginning.
Manhattan Bridge
Manhattan Bridge connects Chinatown to Brooklyn in New York City. Unlike the classic and heavy Brooklyn Bridge, Manhattan Bridge stands out with its modern design and light blue paint. My impression of NYC was chaotic, lots of colors, and a fun city—elements that are reflected in the bold colors of this painting.

Us in galaxies
Oil on canvas
72.7 x 60.6cm
Whether human spirits exist in galaxies or galaxies exist in spirits is unknown; however, the universe seen through the sky gives a sense of us being part of the universe.

The essence of life 1
2024, Oil on canvas, 30.5 x 40.5 x 4cm
Which colors is the essence of life?
After I was thinking about it, the colors were limited for this painting.
I wanted to express the heartbeat with a few colors.
I hope you enjoy thinking about what the essence of life is.

Han river in the morning
Oil on canvas, 33.3 x 24.2 H x 2 D cm (13.1 x 9.5 x 0.8 inches), , 2023
This is the Han River, which is Hangang in Seoul, Korea. I went to Seoul in October and November 2024. From Seoul to Incheon International Airport, I saw Hangang in the morning. Yellow and bright sunlight, no red color in the morning. I heard Korean people want to live in a place where they can see ...

Light of the universe
53 x 45.5 x 2 D cm
In the state of New Mexico in the U.S., you will get the feeling that a great power showers over you from the vast sky. You can see some local artwork that depicts raised hands. I am one of them who felt the universe in New Mexico and painted the light shower on the background of Mt. Sandia.
Mt. Sandia changes its color from brown to light purple at the time of sunset. The light of the universe will change all the colors of the Earth. I painted with the hope that the painting can purify your mind with the mysterious light of the universe.
