先日、秋の個展の打ち合わせをしました。個展でお世話になる方が、私の絵の事を「どう表現したらいいか分からないのですが、誰が描いたのでもないような絵なんです。そこにまるで自我が無いような感じです。」とおっしゃいました。そして、同席して下さったデザイナーはこうおっしゃいました。「絵を見た時、何歳の方が描いているのか分からず、てっきりもっとお年を召した方が描いているのかと思っていました。それに、すごく昔の絵と言われても信じてしまうような絵ですね。」
自我をなるべく込めないで普遍的な絵を描きたいというのが私の目標ですので、そう言っていただけてすごく嬉しかったです。

Some days ago I had a meeting with a person who will organise my exhibition this autumn and a designer who will design flyers and some more items for the exhibition. They told me about their impressions of my paintings: "I don't know how to express this, but I don't really feel your ego from your paintings as if they were painted by nobody." "When I saw your paintings I couldn't guess the right age of the painter, I thought they were painted by a much older person. Also I wouldn't be surprised if someone told me that these were painted a couple of hundred years ago." Well...! My goal is that I want to paint pictures without putting my ego in them, and they should be timeless. I felt so happy to hear them!
