- Profile
- Since 1999 he has been continuously creating paintings and music, and in 2026 he restarted his activities under the name “Ekusadataganawi.” Since 2018 he has founded and run multidisciplinary projects such as Ammonite Hotel, Abyss, EMERALD, Trimurti, and ETERNAL STONE. His practice spans painting, music, architecture, film, thought, philosophy, writing, programming, and every field that touches on space, layered color, proportion, and beauty, bearing witness to the ways in which beauty transforms the world. Since 1999 he has been developing a long‑running series based on the vision that works are born from a “cosmic egg,” where spirit becomes matter as painting, space is transformed, and color and form allow one mind to pass into another through the rain‑eyed Metatron, a vast living nervous system that pours down upon us.
- Message
- I hope you will unravel your own roots and memories, and what you are meant to do, and then follow your sensibility wherever it leads you toward beauty. Take things in, turn them into nourishment, and let your possibilities unfold. Stretch the folds of your perception and let them soak into the world.
When you stepped onto the path of expression, some great force must have moved: your own strength, the strength that rises of itself, the strength of someone beside you, or of a presence that had somehow always been there. Whether you are a person of fierce resolve or someone still quietly searching, whatever you create from now on is already connected to something. From that place, I hope something beautiful will happen—something so new and clear you have never seen it before. - Works
