While his early work leaned towards semi-sculptural pieces during his graduation project, Maehara later transitioned to creating breathtaking wooden sculptures from a single block of wood. Remarkably, he is entirely self-taught in wood sculpture, yet his knowledge of oil painting greatly influences his exceptional coloring techniques using oil paint.
Maehara’s art intricately captures the passage of time, with a keen eye for discovering beauty in forgotten objects and remnants from the Showa Era. His unmatched focus and observational skills culminate in the creation of astonishing wooden sculptures, all emerging from a single block of wood
