I create works focusing on familiar animals and plants such as sparrows. I am attracted to their robust and lovely appearance in the changing seasons. I would like to create paintings that give us a sense of peace and tranquility so that we can stop and take a breath in the midst of our fast-paced modern lives.

I mainly create works using cats and people as motifs. I hope I could touch someone’s heartstrings by sublimating what I am attracted to and what I find fragile and beautiful into my works through my own filter.   Masaaki Hikita HP http://www.masaakihikida.com/
