[Author introduction] Kiyoo Ota
Introducing “SYNESTHESIA” artist Kiyoo Ota.
Kiyoo Ota
After studying architecture, he worked at a foreign investment bank with the desire to improve society through economics. After experiencing the financial crisis, he decided to pursue art because he wanted to create works that would last forever even after his death. Using tricks such as optical illusions, perspective, and moiré, I create three-dimensional works that disrupt preconceived notions and cause viewers to suddenly notice something.

This work is filled with the hope that people can find some positivity in their daily lives, which are filled with a sense of confinement. There is a sense of depth, but due to perspective and optical illusions, it is extremely thin.

[Staff comment]
You will be drawn into the mysterious charm created by the overlapping lines. The expression of the work changes depending on the viewing angle, and you can experience materials that you don't see often. Please take a look at Ota's works. (Neda)
