TORAJIRO
TORAJIRO
Bachelor of Art(Dept. of Japanese Painting, Musashino Art University)
After graduating from art university, he spent some time in New York City studying English.
As he returned to Japan, he began working in design.
Then he adopted digital methods including Photoshop and gradually began to paint more in oils.
He currently creates works using acrylic and exhibits mainly in Tokyo.
TORAJIRO’s works are based on the theme of sexual minority identity, depicting young men with well-trained physiques. Through their melancholic expressions, the artist conveys inner conflict, loneliness, and social oppression. These creations combine visual beauty with a powerful message.
In addition, the artist portrays animals—who stand in a supportive, empathetic role—and emphasizes the importance of coexistence with nature, using a gentle and soft touch with delicate color tones. These elements leave a deep and lasting impression on the viewer.
