RIKO MATSUYAMA　松山 梨子

人それぞれが、自らの好む色や形、事柄を知り、
自分らしさを大切にしながら輝くこと。それぞれが
離れるのではなく、互いに力を合わせて助け合うこと。

そんな思いから、「個々の輝きと繋がり」をテーマに
制作している。モチーフである棒状の物体に、明確な
意味やルールはなく、フリーハンドで描く棒状の物体に
同じものはひとつとしてない。棒状の物体は、見る人に
よって、見る人のその時々の心情によってさまざまに
理解されるので構わない。社会のデジタル化が進む
なかで、人間にしか表せられない温かみを
作品を通して感じ取ってもらえたならと思う。

I hope that each person discovers the colors, shapes, and things they love, embraces their uniqueness, and shines in their own way—especially in a world that often feels isolated and divided by individualism.
Rather than becoming disconnected, I want people to come together, support one another, and build meaningful connections. With this in mind, I create works based on the theme of “individual uniqueness and connection.” The central motif in my work, the “Line-Shaped Object,” has no fixed meaning or set of rules. Since each form is drawn freehand, no two are ever the same. These shapes remain open to interpretation, with their meaning shifting according to the viewer and their emotional state at a given moment—something I wholeheartedly embrace. As society becomes increasingly digitalized, I strive to convey through my work a sense of warmth that can only be created by human hands.
