1982年生まれ。埼玉県所沢市出身、東京都在住。幼少の頃より所沢、自宅近くのアトリエに通い、ファインアートを学ぶ。ライブペインティング、イラストレーションを中心に国内外で幅広く活動。
ホロコーストで強制収容されたセクシャル・マイノリティー達へ装着が義務付けられたピンクトライアングルに象徴されるように、女性らしさの象徴とされるピンクは、男性と組み合わせることで性の固定イメージを揺さぶる。現在は、同性愛のシンボルとしてピンクはアイロニカルかつポジティブに取り入れられているが、そのようなバックグラウンドも踏まえて、『ピンクマン』というアーティストネームには、セクシャリティのみならず人間の中にある混沌を受け入れ、多様性が排斥されることへ疑問を投げかける姿勢が象徴されている。
作品制作においても、性差、人種、宗教などの間に敷かれた壁をある種瑣末的なものとして乗り越え、より本質的な視点から物事を捉えようとする独自のフィルターを通し、音楽から得たインスピレーション、日常生活の中での閃きや問題意識を描いている。

Born 1982 in Tokorozawa, Saitama, Japan. Lives and works in Tokyo.
From early childhood he began fine art classes at a local atelier.
Pinkman currently works in Japan and overseas performing live painting
and illustration and also spends time painting his own original works.
In the Holocaust, people of sexual minorities were taken away and forced
to wear a pink triangle to identify them as “Other”. Pink is also seem
as a feminine/female colour, but adding “man” to “pink”, Pinkman is
skewing the gender-lines and by blending gender stereotypes, rebelling
against them. Nowadays, pink is a positive and ironic gay symbol. With
this as a background, the artist chose the name “Pinkman” based not
only on sexuality but also in relation to the chaos and inner-conflict
within people. By morphing the feminine & masculine into the artist’s
name, Pinkman is rejecting societal norms and symbols and hoping to raise
doubts to those who are still against minorities.
In production he attempts to get over the obstacles between religion, the
gender gap, race and discrimination, and to not make judgments.
Pinkman has an original filter which allows him to draw on everyday life, music and his critical mind for inspiration to create works with an essential & unique viewpoint.
