Based in Kyoto, I have primarily focused on painting to date. I attempt to depict images that are in a stage prior to aspiring to a perfected outcome, characterized by an approach that views visible and invisible elements as equally significant. Starting from images that emerge at moments when the reality before us feels inseparable from thought and language, I treat the consciousness that tries to express these images in the same way as external reality. Through this process, I try to create paintings where images integrate with bodily movements and intentions, and these are directly fixed onto the canvas. In recent years, alongside painting, I have also begun working with ceramics, moving between two and three dimensions. The time it takes for an object to emerge as a form and the process of its recognition have become important elements in Matsuda's current practice.
