What is Kagaya?

Kaga Daye, male, Japanese CG master, astronomical illustrator.

1968, born in saitama. He dreamed of interstellar space since he was a child, taught himself astronomy, and began to paint starry sky.

From 65438 to 0984, high school began to contact computers, which generated a strong interest. I am confused about becoming an astronomer or an illustrator in the future.

1990, graduated from Tokyo Institute of Design, Japan, majoring in art design. The all-constellation painting "Fantasy Starry Night" won the award for outstanding graduation works of the same school and became the best-selling constellation postcard. While accurately depicting the astronomical interstellar position, it also depicts the infinite charm of cosmic fantasy.

199 1 year, the illustrated Encyclopedia of the Four Seasons Constellations was published.

In 199 1, I tried to draw a sketch and picture structure by computer.

1993 completed the computer painting of Fujii's work "Encyclopedia of the Universe", and published a large number of astronomical books, monthly magazines and crossword puzzles, planetarium, National Astronomical Observatory and other celestial paintings.

1995, all paintings were operated on the computer, completing the epoch-making "digital painting" technique in the field of painting.

1997, The Zodiac Map, the main work of Greek myth 12, was published.

In 2000, he won the first place in the painting department of "National Digital Art Competition" sponsored by Hewlett-Packard Company in the United States. He used computers to create highly delicate artistic conception and excellent works full of transparency and unique colors for repeated interviews.

In 200 1 year, KAGAYA held a face-to-face exhibition in Japan.

In 2002, the Harmony between the Stars and the Sun, a collection of Japanese four-season humanities and interstellar themes, was published.

In 2003, he published a collection of works adapted from the immortal work Night on the Galaxy Railway by Japanese writer Kenji Miyazawa, and in the same year, he published a collection of works Starry Sky.

In recognition of Mr. KAGAYA's contribution in popularizing astronomical knowledge and celestial painting, 1 1949 asteroid I was named Kagayayutaka.
