The Origin of the Name and How I Work

To give form to unseen feelings, and to kindle a light of hope in the hearts of those who see my work. That is the origin of everything I create. My given name is Mitsuhiko (光彦). The character 彦 (hiko) is said to mean "child of the sun," a child who radiates light. To shine like the sun and bring brightness to people: I realized this might be my calling, and with that feeling I chose the artist name 光日子, KOHIKO.

I work with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, drawing each piece by hand and layering my feelings into every work.

What I Paint

Gratitude, hope, light, harmony, bonds, protection, love, wishes, and peace of mind. I paint these invisible feelings layered onto sacred geometry, ripples, and motifs from nature. I want to deliver paintings that never tire the eye, even when seen every day, and that bring a sense of calm the longer you look at them.

What I Value

Giving form to feelings through intuition.Words are sound, sound is vibration, and vibration becomes form. This phenomenon, in which frequencies create patterns, is called cymatics. I hope the cymatics woven into my works will carry good vibrations to those who see them.
