Based in Kyoto, I have primarily focused on painting to date. I attempt to depict images at a stage prior to the pursuit of a perfected outcome, and my approach is characterized by treating visible and invisible elements as equally significant. I start from images that arise at moments when I perceive the reality before me as inseparable from thought and language, and I treat the very consciousness that attempts to express these images in the same way I treat external reality. Through this process, I try to generate paintings where images integrate with bodily movements and intentions, and these are directly transferred onto the canvas. In recent years, alongside painting, I have also begun working with ceramics. Moving back and forth between two and three dimensions, the time it takes for an object to materialize as a form, and the process of perception, have become important elements in Matsuda's current practice.
