Masaaki Takeuchi was born in Shizuoka in 1955. He entered the Tokyo National University of
|
|
Art and Music in 1975 where he acquired techniques and skills for creating
Japanese-style paintings |
|
under distinguished painters such as Ikuo Hirayama, Yoshihiko Yoshida and
Yoshihiro Shimoda. |
|
After graduation, he was supposed to go on a promising career path by holding
solo exhibitions |
|
in Paris and other cities in Europe and New York, but his sudden illness took away
all of such |
|
arrangements and forced him to return to his home in Shizuoka for recuperation.He spent
some |
|
years suffering from mental agony with his life isolated from the art world. In 1999, however,people |
|
around him noticed his extraordinary artistic
ability and supported him for restarting his painting |
|
activities. |
|
@Since then, belonging to no art group, he has been active
creating breathtaking art works in |
|
Shizuoka.
|
|
@He hopes that people can feel fragrances from the flowers in his works, gentle breeze from his |
|
landscapes, and graciousness from the portraits he paints. |
|
@He now lives in a rural area in Shizuoka with his wife and a dog. |

|
Lastly, he would like to express his great appreciation to the people who have been supporting |
|
him including those who created this website for him. |
