While Hirotaka creates his artwork organically, processing issues into surreal expressions using imagery drawn from both contemporary and historical cultural events, an additional influence on his work comes from Pablo Picasso, who is depicted in some of his pieces. Picasso’s influence may be considered more conceptual than stylistic. As Suzuki quotes Picasso, "'Art is a lie that helps us understand the truth.' I always recall his words when I am creating my paintings."
Since 2000, Suzuki has exhibited his work in numerous galleries both locally and nationally, including the Hive Gallery, Huntington Beach Art Center, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery, Orange County Center for Contemporary Art, and TAG Gallery.
