I am inspired to make art as a way of processing my experiences in the world. I comment on current and historical events as they relate to our present state. Making art is a way for me to understand the world. I mix media, styles and subject matter. I process media and ideas just as I must process images and information coming at me from all sides. I act both spontaneously and with intent. The working of the art itself determines the outcome. I favor the quick sketch, the cartoon, texture, color and abstract passages. Brian Raszka.
Tenmyouya calls his work “Neo Nihonga”, a genre that he has developed. “Neo Nihonga” is the concept of taking thematic and technical approaches from traditional Japanese painting and reviving them in the present day. From Saitama, Japan.
My passion has been art for as long as I can remember. With my art I strive for one main goal, and that is to stir the emotions from those who view it. I admire subtlety and believe that as much can be said through it as exaggeration. I love God, family, and friends, and they are, above all else, the most important things in my life. Joy Ang.
