Eiji Miwa makes it a rule to “draw it as you see it”. When we visually recognize an object, we do so by structuring a consistent framework of the thing, like piecing narrow visions together. Miwa presents this process of visual segmentation and reconstruction in his artworks.
His unique world, as if being consisted of overlapping celluloid pictures, grab the hearts of both young and old, winning the student artist numerous accolades. In 2021, he also took charge of pictures featured in a music video by one of Japan’s leading musicians. The one and only world visualized through this emerging artist may become one of the most sought-after collection items in the near future.

Since vision does not capture the consistent structure of an object as if it were a still picture, but rather fluctuates continuously in the brain even when the eyes are closed, continuous gazing and preservation of memory are necessary to understand the structure and quantity of an object through vision. On the other hand, how is the object projected in our brain during the stage of natural reception before shifting to such conscious observation? In order to understand this inner landscape, I intuitively reconstruct on the screen every element of what I see, including shape, color, number, scale, density, and range of perception. Since it is impossible to organize the results in a single layer of application, I compare the results on the screen with my visual experience and ruminate over and over again. This process is expressed as a form on the screen, and I have a hunch that this visible process is part of the essence of visual image expression.
