Biography

On the verge of completing his doctorate at the University of Fine Arts in Tokyo, and working on “Controlled and Uncontrolled” issues, the artist focuses his work on abstract paintings painted on a grid basis. For the writing of this thesis, she is based in particular on her own artistic practice.
