Masaki Hagino explores perception as a subjective process shaped by individual cognition. His work investigates how images are constructed and reinterpreted between artist and viewer. Using a technique he terms “multi-layered perspective,” he builds translucent layers to fragment visual information, creating works that function as perceptual devices, inviting viewers to actively reconstruct the image. Developed during his studies in Germany, this method uses layered materials and screen divisions to question spatial perception. By separating and repositioning pictorial elements across layers, Hagino creates shifting perspectives that challenge conventional painting and reveal subjective ways of seeing.
