My main occupation is a manicurist. I started my career as a manicurist
in 1997 and started making art works around 2001.
I create my art works utilizing the techniques of the manicurist, and mainly use materials for nail art. In 2014, I coined the term gModeling nail design arth and began to create art works in earnest. To show art works created as a manicurist as "contemporary art", I realized that "HANDS" are important, and thought that "beautiful and easy-to-use hands that move just like human joints" are necessary. Then, to create gHANDSh, in 2015 I started to learn from world-famous artist Ryo Yoshida at gDoll Space Pygmalionh, the ball-jointed doll school, and completed gHANDSh in two years. The nail design (nail tip) I produced as nail art is displayed on gHANDSh; it developed into a more interesting and mysterious art that couldnft be expressed by human hands. Starting with nails, combining "HANDS", it has now become contemporary art. I am producing my art works, committed to the detail of the movement of the gHANDh, and conscious of Japanese delicateness, the realism of the texture, and the color. By expressing "beauty, wonder and interest", I am aiming to create unique art works. All works are made to be viewed from any angle. |
