Yusuke Ochiai, a self-taught painter and sculptor, continues a creative journey through self-exploration and dialogue with the external world. My art draws inspiration from the traditions of polytheism and Japan's Shinto, expressing the sanctity of life and the beauty of the universe through the personification of gods and energies. The dynamism of New York City, the raw energy of street art, and the fantastical visions of pop surrealism have brought new dimensions to my art. Influences from Japanese anime, particularly Studio Ghibli and Hayao Miyazaki's works, the concept of reincarnation, and classical arts have deeply impacted my creations. These elements achieve a timeless bridge in creative expression. My encounter with 'Path of Imagination' (POI) has been a pivotal moment in my 'Poieverywhere' creative endeavor, embodying my belief that true creativity springs from free thought.
