-------------------------------
"It is an experiment with the transparent support of painting...it means with the glass.
I think that it is disappearing, nothing...it is to say the transparency which is the finish point of the modern painting,its terminal point, infinite task at the same time...
I'm pursuing if I could see the other side of the transparency...
creatively using the material(including acrylic) which is transparent, semi-transparent and opaque."

絵画の支持体が、透明、つまりガラスである事による実験です。
近代絵画の最終、究極の到達点であり、同時に無限の課題と言えるものは、
消え去る事、無い事、つまり透明性ではないでしょうか?
素材(アクリル絵の具を含む)として、透明、半透明、不透明、を使い分けながら
透明性の向こう側が見えないか、、、と。
