Excel Artist: Tatsuo Horiuchi

Tatsuo Horiuchi is a 77 year old Japanese artist who specialises in using Microsoft Excel to create landscape painting digitally. He started using Excel in 2000 after retiring and didn't want to spend money on buying paints or even having digital drawing software so he utilised what he already had which was Excel. He also prefers to use Excel as he thinks they have "more functions and is easier to use". He uses the different tools available in Excel like the line and bucket tool in order to create intricate paintings on the software. He mostly makes painting of the rural landscape of Japan.
