Makiko Berry draws Japanese paintings while learning from nature and people every day, using the scenes and experiences she encounters in her daily life as motifs. The characteristics that she draws are created from her unique perspective on the relationship between human society and nature from her sharp observation eye growing up as a child of nature.
After engaging in restoration at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, she places the priority of her creation on expression, which is not only based on logic but on forms born from intuition and feeling. Her suggestive and mysterious forms appear and disappear in the picture, but she always expresses them naturally and honestly.And there is a deep prayer in her message to the earth. The colors and shapes move freely, and the innocent portrayals are filled with spirituality and connected to a deep love for humanity.
