Japanese conceptual artist, Haruyasu Yanagi, has dedicated himself to expression of the brilliant aspects of humanity which he thinks everyone and everything has. He has done this, so that many people sense purity and brightness upon seeing his paintings and objects. He also hopes that, while participating in his conceptual art, people will feel something precious, which he thinks is their positive and natural personality: potential.
