Takuya Tamura

Born in 1992, he lives in Shiga Prefecture. He has been a member of Yamanami Studio since 2011. He mostly uses markers as his art materials, drawing motifs of animals and people on drawing paper ranging from postcard size to full-page size. He first draws the overall image, then carefully paints over the lines using each individual color. As he repeats this process, the squares become filled with vibrant colors in a grid pattern. He repeats this process every day at the same time, in the same place, and with the same rhythm. He doesn't like to interact with people much and is usually quiet and alone, but his expression as he looks at his paintings while creating exudes a hidden passion. He aims to exhibit in many exhibitions, and today he is still holding his pen, aiming for a new exhibition.
