[審査員]阿部 和宣氏コメント
以前から注目していましたので、今回応募していただいたことを嬉しく思います。確かな技術と、美術史の知識に裏付けされた作品の完成度。長い海外経験の中で確立されたであろうアーティストとしてのコンセプト。現代に生きるものが持ち得る時代性とオリジナリティ溢れるストーリー性。現代アートに必要とされる要素に満ちた作品世界を確立していると感じました。今回の３点は、アポロ計画を舞台に宇宙飛行をテーマに描かれていますが、連作でありながら、１点１点で完結された作品にもなっていて、そこには現代性、伝統美を重んじる作家性、自身の夢やメッセージがしっかり込められていて、魅力あふれる作品となっていると感じました。

◼️ AFAF AWARD powered by E.SUN BANK Grand Prize Selected Artists
For the AFAF AWARD powered by E.SUN BANK, I was selected as the Grand Prize recipient for 2025 following a rigorous review process, chosen from approximately 800 submissions from both Japan and abroad.
[Judge]Kazunobu Abe
I have been keeping an eye on this artist for some time, so I am delighted that he has submitted this work. The level of completion of his work is backed by solid technique and knowledge of art history. His concept as an artist must have been established through his long experience abroad. He has a sense of time that those living in the modern age can have, and a story that is full of originality. I felt that he has established a world of work that is full of the elements required of contemporary art. The three pieces in this competition are painted on the theme of space flight, set in the Apollo program, and although they are a series, each piece is a complete work in itself, and I felt that they are full of appeal, as they are filled with modernity, the artist’s respect for traditional beauty, and the artist’s own dreams and messages.
