Concept

Focusing on oil painting and ceramics, he has recently been thinking and working on the cohabitation of conflicting ideas; situations and mentalities where opposing elements such as good and evil, beauty and ugliness coexist. Morisaku depicts inner contradictions and harmony through pictorial motifs.
While connecting motifs with art historical elements, Morisaku contrasts them with their own inner world and explores new perspectives of reality.
