Since then, he works as an artist using different materials, mainly glass.

His work reflects his Japanese roots referring to Japanese Mythology. Also from the start of his artist carreer, he created the series “Shoe Realism” based on the concept of a shoe.

In this solo exhibition, he shows art pieces made in Jingdezhen, China: Jingdezhen dream. In this work, he uses glass with ceramics and combines different objects into a totem.
