I have loved drawing since I was a child, and all my textbooks are full of crap.
When I was 10 years old, I was introduced to oil painting by an uncle who was an oil painter in my neighborhood.
I was fortunate enough to have my first oil painting exhibited at an exhibition, and my father, who was a woodworker at the time, was delighted and made a frame for the oil painting as a souvenir.
Decades later, his oil paintings still hang in his studio.
When I get overwhelmed with work, I sometimes look at the oil painting, which is the origin of "artistic manufacturing," and reset my mind.
When I was a student, I was interested in the art of the Art Nouveau era in Europe in the latter half of the 19th century, and the art of William Morris, Toulouse-Lautrec, Gustav Klimt, and others influenced subsequent manufacturing.
After becoming a member of society, after experiencing various occupations, I became involved in leather and launched my current handmade brand "HELI Helichrysum", where I do everything from design to dyeing, cutting, and sewing in my atelier.
There is a saying, "What you like is what you are good at," but drawing and making things is something that I can forget about sleeping and eating from a young age and become absorbed in it. That's why I want to continue "HELI" for a long time to come.
