My artworks have been exhibited in the RenovArt | Shapes of Nature exhibition, hosted by ApuliaAste and held at the Spazio Opera Gallery in Matera, Italy.

RenovArt is a curated project dedicated to the finest artistic talents from around the world. Curated by art historian Carmela Loiacono, it serves as a testament to the regeneration and encouragement of artists both domestically and internationally, and is held for the development and advancement of contemporary art knowledge.

It seems to me that art is most needed in the world following the end of wars. Even when information was divided between the West and East, I have learned from the RenovArt project that art plays a role as a medium of communication, bridging towards peace.

Those who show interest in art and empathize with it in this millennial era of energy transition are probably those who have already lost something important, and are now taking new steps, perhaps with gentle budding.

In the current world, there is new 'life' as much as there is 'death'. At this significant juncture of our era, it is our generation's duty to create a foundation for the children who will nurture the future, to grow with blessings and lead peaceful and happy lives.

I am proud and deeply grateful to have participated in this honorable exhibition from Japan.

ApuliaAste 主催、イタリアのマテーラにある Spazio Opera Gallery で開催された RenovArt | Shapes of Nature 展に作品を出展いたしました。

RenovArt は国内外の最高の芸術的才能に捧げるキュレーションプロジェクトで、美術史家の Carmela Loiacono 氏により、国内外のアーティストの再生と奨励の証として、現代美術の発展および知識の向上のため開催されました。

アートがこの世界に広く必要とされるのは、戦争が終わった後の世界であるように思います。情報が西側と東側で分断されていたとしても、アートが意思疎通媒体の役割を果たし、平和への架け橋となっていることを、この RenovArt プロジェクトから学び得ました。

この一千年に一度のエネルギーの転換期においてアートに関心を持ち、それに共感する心を持つ方々は、おそらく既に何か大切なものを失い、そして再び新たな歩みを、穏やかな芽吹きと共に進めているのでしょう。

現在の世界には「死」と同様に新たな「生」も満ちています。この時代の大きな節目に於いて、未来を育む子供達が祝福と共に成長し、平和で幸福な人生を歩んで行ける基盤を、私達の世代が創らなければなりません。

日本からこの名誉ある展示会に参加させていただいたことを誇りに思い、心より感謝申し上げます。

“In all things of nature there is something wonderful". Aristotle

The nature is a source of inspiration for artists and it provides some elements that allow the reflection on what surrounds the human being and coexists with his physical and mental presence. Therefore, the knowledge of nature leads to the exploration of new worlds and new realities that sublimate the individual to a higher level of existence.

Shapes of Nature aims to create a new link between art and nature, from which each artist could be able to sublimate himself and express his being in a free and unconditional way.

The main objective is to take care of and support the careers of national and international artists, creating an open dialogue, an exchange of ideas and contacts between collectors, painters, photographers, sculptors and professionals for the development and knowledge of Contemporary Art.

The project RenovArt | 100 Artists for the Future will last for one year and is structured in monthly events that will be held in Alberobello (BA), during the famous celebrations held for the past 25 years since the UNESCO recognition of the city of Alberobello (from 6 December 2021 to 6 December 2022), in Matera (MT), and in other prestigious and historic buildings in Puglia and Basilicata.

Kuan Yin Bodhisattva / 救世菩薩
Dec 2020 / 100 x 100 cm

This artwork was created as a prayer to the Buddhist Kannon Bodhisattva (Bosatsu) for peace to come to the hearts of humankind. Buddhism exists in a realm which transcends philosophy and science, and the gods and Buddha exist beyond time and space. Rather than describe this artwork as being imbued with a prayer, I say that I created it from a single, pure wish, a prayer that the Bodhisattva could manifest within this world.

仏教の観世音菩薩へ人々の心の平安を祈念し制作された作品です。仏教は哲学も科学も超越した領域にあり、神仏は時空を超えて存在します。この作品には祈りが込められていると言い表すより、この世界へ菩薩の顕現を祈念し、純粋な願い一つから制作されました。

Karma / 業
Sep 2021 / 100 x 100 cm

The weight of human karma, the daily accumulation of knowledge, and the burdens we carry on our shoulders can often feel overwhelming. However, we must persevere and continue to move forward, even if it means taking one step at a time and only looking at the darkness beneath our feet.

人の業の深さに、日々学ぶことの多さに、自ら背負った重荷に耐え難きものを感じながらも、ただ足元の暗がりだけを見据え、一歩ずつ前へと歩を進めるのみ。
