Philosophy

I draw inspirations from the Renaissance old masters and take these notions below as principles to manage my artistic productions.



Draw by hand to see Nature well and to invent an image from imagination.



Be transversal in diverse artistic fields, at the same time, penetrating always the ideas of an artist.



Nurture interaction with clients on the course of an artistic production and respond to their artistic requests. Also collaborate with other craftsmen.



Mirror beauty which originates in Heaven in any subjects created, painted, drawn and engraved.

About me

Hello! I am a painter, printmaker, and 3D sculptor originally from Tokyo, working between Carrara and Milan. My creative practice blends traditional craftsmanship, digital 3D modeling, and design, exploring both the collective imagination of our time and a more intimate, personal imagery. My work reflects a personal narrative shaped by the crossing of cultures—especially between Japan and Italy, with influences that extend even further. My vision unfolds through both physical and digital media, with a particular focus on the creative synergy that emerges when the two come together.
Christian sacred art, which played an important role in the early stages of my artistic activities in Florence, continues to hold a special place in my art, an area in which I remain active through commissioned works.
