Harukita - Self Portrait
(oil on canvas- 36" x16" )

I have been painting one self portrait every year ever since... high school? Anyways, Emily invited us to collaborate on this Art Exhibition at La Belle salon in Central with several other fellow artists friend (Gabe Ostley, Wesley Terpstra, Ashley Blakely Terpstra and Rico Tsui). The theme was "Hair", I decided to have fun with this topic.

With my self portrait, I enjoyed painting the essence of my multi cultural back ground (born in Japan, raised in Spain, Brazil, Mexico, went to a college in U.S.A and now living in Hong Kong) , my fantasy for sweets, my passion for visual and performing art and my admiration for classic and traditional techniques. Took a long time to "braid" her hair!

Living in Hong Kong makes me think about my identity. Where do I belong? Well, ... anywhere... everywhere... I encountered many people who feel this way.

my next piece,

memories… since 19 years old
(graphite and conté crayon on canvas- 36" x48")
Bad photo of it, but I had a strong connection with this piece. I was recalling tangled experiences from my past... ups and downs. Relationships with hair, people, and loved ones. So much energy and full of passion. Sometimes it may include the ones you might want to cut them off or brush them away, but when you think about it, every bits of the tangled you made makes the whole you. No regrets.
Two more works to share, but for today,

Thank you so much for friends who came and hope you will have a chance to stop by :)!

You are creative in beautiful compositions (brazilian colors?) and always in manifestations of joy. Nice!
