PROFILE

Born in Nagano ,Japan in 1993, Lives in Kyoto.

Graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2017 . 

She creates dynamic paintings by combining hard-edged color surfaces created by spraying and silkscreening with uneven surfaces covered with heavy layers of paint. The clash of different elements creates a strange harmony, and expands the imagination to new sensations.
Major solo exhibitions include “The eyes : They see” (DMOARTS/2019) and “- see sew scene -ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO SATELLITE” (ygion/2021).
Major group exhibitions and art fairs include “Art Award Tokyo Marunouchi” (2017), “ARTISTS’ FAIR KYOTO” (2018), and “DELTA Exhibition” (2021).

【STATEMENT】 

My motivation for painting is my interest in human perception and sensation.

Acrylic paint is the primary painting medium in my work.
I paint using a combination of multiple techniques, including hand-drawing, silk-screening, and stenciling. A snarky and inconsistent pictorial space is created.
By looking at the painted space as an illusion or distortion, we confirm our own perception.
It also expands our imagination of multidimensional landscapes and sensations that we cannot perceive in the real world.

I believe that imagination leads to an ever-changing perspective and relationship with the world around us.
