KIMIAKI

KIMIAKI perceives sounds as colors and patterns, and similarly, sensations from smells and tastes evoke visual responses. He impulsively creates forms from these stimuli, transmitted through his nervous system to his brain. By exploring and articulating these brain characteristics, he discovered that natural and artificial brains are similar and that matter and humanity are interconnected.
He believes his artistic journey began at the moment of conception, vividly remembering the perspectives just before the fusion of sperm and egg. Growing within the blurred boundary between life and death and being born on Earth, he has wandered the boundaries of life and death, exploring the essence of life since childhood.
As a child, he enjoyed imagining unknown worlds and expressing the unseen. However, upon entering elementary school, he struggled to adapt to formal education and closed off this sensitivity. This led to intense personal suffering, making it difficult for him to get through each day. Through transforming his suffering into art, he gradually overcame his struggles and eventually became an artist who turns humanity's pain and sorrow into hope.

KIMIAKIは音を聴くと色や模様が浮かぶ。香りや味の刺激からも浮かぶ。彼は身体が受けた刺激が神経を伝わり脳に浮かんだものを衝動的に即興で造形化する。彼はこの脳の特性を追求し言語化する事で自然脳と人工脳は類似し物質と人間は繋がっている事を発見した。
彼は自分の芸術活動は精子と卵子が結合した瞬間に始まったという。彼は精子と卵子が結合する直前の二つの視点の記憶が今も鮮明にある。生と死の境界が曖昧のまま胎内で成長し地球上に誕生した彼は幼少期から生と死の境界を彷徨い生命を探求した。
幼少期から未知の世界を想像し目には見えない世界を表現するのが好きだった彼は小学生になると学校教育に馴染めなくなりこの感覚を閉ざした。やがて苦しみが纏わりつき一日を生き抜く事がやっとの状態になった彼は己れの苦しみをアート化する術を身につけ乗り越えた。そして彼は人類の苦しみや悲しみを希望に変えるアーティストになった。
