Artist statement
My purpose for my design is communication with viewers because I tend to focus on sympathy. I always try to gain the sympathy at least one of elements what I designed from work. It could be color matching, composition, using media, and any aesthetics. My concept is usually from experience which this can be a story about myself or people have ever experienced. By the subject, I tell my experiences and emotions using art works or design. Especially, I consider color matching because that is one of the most visible for design. Focusing colors can be causing interest when people face my work for a first time and it outstands to people even though they are unfamiliar about design. That can be one of effective way to make a sympathy with viewers. Also, I am sensitive person for combination of colors how mixed color look good. That is the reason why I prefer pop-art, commercial design, and design for advertisement because they need to be outstanding and gain a sympathy from viewers. In addition, using experience for concept of my design is the reason for communication with my viewers.
