"Study on Realistic Expression in Our Days

－Research and Development of the Tempera Useful for Realistic Expression―" - Ph.D. Dissertation 

This paper is an overview of various tempera paint formulas from the past to present, and the development of new tempera paint formulas based on those.

I paint portraits with oil paint and a tempera paint that I developed in my personal research, called 《Impasto  OG tempera 》(O = Oil, G = Glue), for which I was awarded a doctorate.

Although cleanliness and purity are recurring themes in my work, I regard "prayer" as being the most important.

When I refer to "prayer", it is not prayer in a specific religion, but rather praying for the goodness of humanity.

I want to emphatically explore the beauty that enlightens people in this uncertain and cruel world
