Masanori Kishizuka
Japan
Born in 1981, currently resides in Kobe.
Self-taught, he has been creating artworks since he was about 18 years old.
His pointillist paintings, drawn with such superb skill that they are unrecognizable to the naked eye, have an exceptional fairy-tale worldview reminiscent of fantasy literature, and have many deep-rooted fans.
Artist Statement
I work in pointillism using a dip pen.
I chose the technique of pointillism because I do not want to complete my work too quickly.
It is a childish desire to play with the world that exists within me as I continue to create.
