hitoshi sarukawa

Painter

hitoshi sarukawa was born and raised in a nature-rich environment in Aomori.He saw a painting at the age of nine,which gave him a fundamental impact.Seeing an abstract painting for the first time in his life,the boy started to teach himself how to draw.

In 1997 at the age of 17,he dropped out of Ajigasawa High School in Aomori and kept drawing at his parents’ place in Aomori.It occurred to him two years later at the age of 19 to try painting with his fingers.He tried drawing in a variety of ways.Then he tried creating an abstract painting using his fingers,which gave birth to the picture that initiated his style.Then after 20 years,his paintings finally came together as he began creating nature-themed works using his fingers,acquired high sensitivity,encountered various paintings,and learned through self-study.Through paintings,he manages to translate how the sky moves,the winds,the beating of nature,kindness,and beauty into art that appears differently in the eyes of individuals depending on how they interpret.

Now it’s your turn to feel them.To feel the paintings by hitoshi sarukawa...
hitoshi sarukawaは青森県の自然豊かな場所で生まれ育ちました。9歳の頃に1つの絵画に出会い、衝撃を受けた。初めて抽象画を見た少年は、自分も描いてみようと独学で描き始めた。

そして1997年17歳の時に青森県鰺ヶ沢高校を中退し、青森で親の元で働きながら絵を描き続けた。2年が経った19歳のある時、Sarukawaはふと思う、指で描いてみようと。いろいろな趣向で指で描いてみた。そして水彩絵具を指で描いてみた、、そしたら出来た。今の基礎になる絵が。それから20年、自然をテーマに指で描き始め.感性を高め、いろんな絵画に出合い、独学で学び、Sarukawaの絵がやっと形になった。絵から、空の動き、風、自然の鼓動を、優しさや、美しさを、見た人がそれぞれ捉え方、見方が、見る角度によっては違うアートに、、

今度はあなた様が感じて下さい。このhitoshi Sarukawaの絵を、、
