水道バルブはおしゃれだ (2022) Digital Arts by Bai Xi Jian Zi Mayuko Utanishi

My artwork uses color to express feelings that cannot be expressed in words.
These are the emotions we feel when we listen to our favorite music, when we see a wonderful landscape, when we feel for our loved ones, when we feel from people we pass by, when we feel for the world and ourselves, and so on.

However, only children are allowed to speak their thoughts and feelings honestly, to say what they are feeling and thinking.
As we grow older, we are expected to live in harmony with those around us without showing our emotions.

We all have diverse facets, but in this environment, I have come to have two versions of myself: one that lives as an adult and one that remains a child.

The self that expresses emotions by coloring and drawing by hand is the self that remains a child, and the other self that lives as an adult is the one that uses digital tools to create works of art.

As for techniques, I use oil pastels and colored pencils to draw and paint colors, and Illustrator, Photoshop, and CLIP STUDIO PAINT to combine stencil art, photomontage, abstract expressions, and other methods to create my works.

Ever since I was a child, I have been interested in and engaged in drawing with all the colors available in paint sets and colored pencils.
In the process, I began to use many colors to express my emotions.

As an adult, while studying graphic and commercial design, I created my current method of creating artwork.

I value margins, and by using margins, I enhance the "color" that is emotion.
