    "Title Unknown"

    Atsuhito Fujiki/atelier yamanami/Shiga

    Atsuhito Fujiki engages in the process of creating his artworks while enjoying conversations with staff members. He verbally confirms his preferences for cars, food, people, and then translates them into drawings of circles. For him, the exchange of words serves as a means of connecting with others, and his creative activities are an extension of that interaction. Each vividly layered circle"maru" in his artworks represents the traces of conversations and exchanges with staff members, embedding a sense of compassionate feelings that have been nurtured.

    "No Title"

    Tomihiro Watanabe/Safuran Seikatsu-en/Aichi

    Tomihiro Watanabe, from the art studio Safran Life Park, has a deep passion for freedom and travel. He meticulously applies oil pastels, one stroke at a time, using his thumb to blend them. Choosing colors as if guided by an inner instinct, Watanabe occasionally expresses with intensity. Although it might seem like he's in a mindful state while creating, he paints with a smile. Additionally, his enthusiasm for speedy automobiles is translated into his artwork, which exudes a feeling of swiftness. The phrase "Done!" marks the conclusion of his artwork.

    "Youth Ballad"

    Keisuke Mori/THE GARDEN OF HOPE/Mie

    Keisuke Mori began creating his artwork in a studio at the age of 12 and has been painting in oils since he was 17. From the vast collection of record jackets stored in the facility, he selects one that captivates him and uses it as a motif. While he also works on larger pieces like the F100 size canvas (1620×1303mm), it takes him 20 minutes to create colors and 40 minutes to draw a single 200mm line, thus incorporating a tremendous amount of time into his work. The distinctive composition of contrasting light and dark colors was inspired by the advice of his mentor, Chairman of the facility Shinya Murabayashi, and has established it as his signature style. He possesses a sincere and friendly behavior, exchanging pleasant greetings with those around him. In his free time, he enjoys playing video games and exploring thrift shops.

    ”(No Title)”

    Sanae Sasaki/Lumbini Museum of Art/Iwate

    Since starting creative activities in the 90s, Sanae Sasaki has been continuously exploring various forms of expression, including not only painting but also weaving, paper cutting, embroidery, and more. Although the content of their creations change over time, each work remains intricate and rich in color and composition. In recent years, her creative process has undergone frequent transformations, experimenting with techniques such as coloring concentric circles of paper cutouts in multiple colors and arranging them on walls, or drawing multiple circles on drawing paper and filling them with red marker. Her art is constantly evolving and full of transformations.

    "marina-moji3"

    marina/Tokyo

    Sushi, games, cooking, and drawing - is what Marina loves. She brightens up the place with her cheerful personality like a ray of sunshine as she happily dances to music and reports on the daily school lunch menu. She started creating artwork at the age of 12, and among various artistic activities, her favorite is to fill the notebook with “word-ish” characters and symbols. Is it an ancient inscription, a futuristic language of the cosmos, or simply whimsical creations without any specific meaning? The enigmatic typography, flowing as if in a rush, tempts people to unravel its secrets, but only the artist truly knows the answer.

    GAMON/General Incorporated Association HAP-lab/Hiroshima

    Nobody knows the true story of what triggered him, but around the age of 15, GAMON started creating paintings out of the blue, eagerly studying a collection of René Magritte's works that he found on the shelves of an art studio. With astonishing concentration, he meticulously drew each line and shape, filling the canvas with geometric forms and distinctive color sensibilities. Completely immersed during the whole process, oblivious to the surrounding noise and distractions.His enigmatic artworks possess an ethnic quality while also being somewhat modern, capturing the attention of people in all ages and in all walks of life.
