Yukihito Okabe

“The Map Serie", drawn with over 100 different 0.5mm pens, features sparkling details created with glitter pens, giving them a look as if the artwork is a secret treasure map. There are no preliminary sketches for these works. Instead, the artist, Uchiyama.k intricately connects motifs such as living creatures, numbers, and sometimes even demons like a chainin, resembling the growth of cells. The level of meticulousness is so astounding that it elicits involuntary sighs of awe. Though he is usually shy and reserved, when asked to introduce his artwork, he speaks fluently, which is quite surprising given his usual demeanor, giving people an endearing sentiment.
