I am allergic to cats and cannot own a cat, so I don't know much about them, but that is why I have a strong admiration for them.
Their movements that seem to ignore their skeletal structure and the fact that they don't seem to care about us are adorable, and as my fantasies grew, I ended up creating a planet of freedom and happiness in my mind, called "Nekoneko Hoshi.

All of my works are inspired by this star.

From a distance, the cat moves as if it were a liquid. Free and truly happy itself, a symbol of peace. So the cats in my paintings also move in mysterious ways and live their lives doing only what they like to do.

And as the years passed, many characters were born on such a star.
The cats in this painting are one of them. The moment of the happiest proposal in life, I cut it out and painted it.

The people who see them are healed and made to feel good. The concept of this work is to be like an air purifier. I hope these paintings are needed in these times when the future is uncertain.
