For me, drawing animals is
a means to unleash my own raw emotions.
My younger brother & I were raised by our loving parents.
At the same time, my parents were very fond of animals.
There were cats, dogs, birds, snakes, squirrels,
turtles, and killifish in the house,
and my father did DIY renovations throughout the year to
keep the animals from fighting.
The animals were separated according to the structure of the house,
but my brother and I were always able to play with all the animals.
They appear pure, honest but sometimes selfish.
I think I had that kind of personality when I was a child.
I learned that expressing my feelings honestly, like an animal, can hurt others.
When I became an adult and realized my dream of opening an art school,
I developed the habit of treating people with consideration through
interactions with many students.
As I continued to live my life responding to the needs of others,
I became unable to express my feelings honestly.
What I find interesting may be offensive to some people.
The thought gripped me that
I couldn't take a statement with that possibility lightly.
This obsession was slowly eating away at my mental health.
During that life, emotions, jokes & scenes began to
appear in my mind in the form of animals.
I regularly hold classes on drawing with pencil drawings,
colored pencils, watercolors, acrylic paints & crayons,
and I strongly feel that crayons are suitable for
drawing the animals in my heart.
As I continued to draw more and more,
I became convinced that
the texture of the crayons & the way the colors were mixed
brought uniqueness to my work,
and that it was the essence of my artistic style and originality.
My works are my emotions themselves,
and they may be linked to the emotions of others.
There may be feelings hidden in your heart that
you are unaware of in my work.
I would be delighted
if your emotions could connect with mine through my artwork.
