Moeko MACHIDA
I explore the invisible beauty of living beings in this world through painting with Japanese traditional pigment. I engage in mindful observation of nature in my daily life, using my entire body to perceive the hidden forces that reside within the depths of life. My creations are the tangible results of this observation and exploration.
The round shapes appearing in my works are inspired by rocks and stones, and representing life. Although minerals are typically considered inorganic, I sense they share a vital essence similar to that of living things.
Since childhood, contemplating life has evoked feelings of silence and solitude within me, along with an unknown vitality and speed, as well as a deep respect for all living things.
I hope my creations can provide an opportunity for more people to recall these sensations and feelings.
