“I choose to work with crayons because they are a medium I have been familiar with since childhood. The motifs of the Maneki-neko (beckoning cat) and Daruma were selected because they are symbols of good fortune and have always intrigued me. When creating my artwork, I allow my heart to guide me, drawing inspiration from the interesting and often overlooked aspects of daily life. My artistic style is influenced by the simple yet captivating moments that I encounter every day. Through vibrant colors and familiar motifs, I aim to capture the essence of these experiences and share the joy they bring with others. “
