You.

You. creates works that embody the longing and comfort deep in the heart, in order to love oneself and others. The rich natural environment of Nara and a lonely childhood are the origins of her creativity. Saved by a world of imagination, she was drawn to free expression, transitioned through apparel, and began teaching herself oil painting. Starting with abstract paintings, she gradually pursued expressions honest to her own "likes." Influenced by Van Gogh and William Morris, she built a world of works that feel warm yet tinged with sadness. Currently, she is developing the "permeate art" series, which fuses two-dimensional and three-dimensional elements, continuing to create works that blend into the space. She has also exhibited at places like Chakyuan and Independent Tokyo, expanding the range of her expression.
