Me, Myself and Art
Through digital art, I strive to portray spiritual essence hidden within divinity.
Digital art is perfect for achieving exquisite brush strokes that cannot be achieved through non-digital arts,
Instead of focusing solely on digital elements to create art for digital world, I strive to create pure art form.
I was a business man until retirement.
I loved to draw though I never really learnt how to draw.
It was after retirement, I decided to become an artist.
Looking back in history, it seems that every methods of art has been tried and tested.
This is the reason I decided to become a digital artist to try something new.
It was truly shocking when my first ever digital art, which I painted 11 years ago, won an award.
You can see this painting on Art Store page, a painting named “Soul.”
Advantage of digital art is that one can achieve sensitive brush strokes that may not be achieved by hand drawings that are perfect for expressing what are way beyond thoughts and feelings.
I strive to express spirituality and divinity.
I believe in the possibility of digital art, and of which I am particularly interested in Photo Montage.
Possibilities are endless. Take a photo, even if it is not a perfect photo, with digital creation, a photo can be transformed into an art by bringing its beauty out into the world, which is totally different from retouching, editing nor changing the art itself.
Talking about art, after retirement, I also began pole dancing.
I have always loved the eroticism and its art forms, and it all started when one day, I went to a night club and met a pole dancer who recommended pole dancing.
I guess being the oldest male pole dancer in Japan, it caught many people's attention,
and when I realized, I was on TV and numerous Media.
I am not so sure if I'm a brilliant dancer, but I do honestly love dancing from the bottom of my heart, and that may be the reason why some may be drawn to my pole dancing.
You never know who will be drawn to you. Art honestly is a peculiar obsession.
