Biography

Birth: 1994
Location：Tokyo, Japan

 

緑色の太陽が輝き、独自の色彩をまとった自然世界を絵画と詩により表現している。 
海や山、島にリサーチに行き制作を行う。
 
早稲田大学法学部卒業。大学の最終年次に、ミクロネシアのヤップ島を訪れる。南の島で大自然の中で島民と暮らしたことをきっかけに、自分が進む道はアートだと考えるようになった。2017年から写真と詩による表現活動を始め、2018年に絵画を始める。


He paints the Jade Sun world to express the mythical world. He paints landscapes, having research to actual places such as Kozu Island or mountain scenes. Having been in such places, he has done drawing and photographing to capture the real landscapes. Taro also shows us the connection between Man and nature.

He graduated from Waseda University in Japan in 2016 with a major in law.When he was a senior, he visited Yap island in Micronesia. He lived as the local, saw the tropical wood where crabs walked on and fathoms of the blue ocean, the silver nights of the stars and the moon. Then, he realized that there is something like a valley between where he is and the world having the life breathing. He had felt being away from art. After graduation, he realized his path was art, started photography and writing in 2017, painting in 2018.
