Ayaka Maeda

Painting

Using a unique technique that combines the techniques of sumi-e and detailed expression with a round pen, she depicts the beautiful things she encounters in her daily life and ideal worlds. In recent years, she has been adding glittering gold leaf, platinum leaf, chalk powder and other Japanese painting materials, as well as transparent watercolors, to her monochrome ink paintings to create a three-dimensional effect in her paintings.

Hoping to think about the existence of "Gods and Buddhas," I incorporate into my work the mysteries and myths of the temples and shrines that I have visited many times. I also beautifully depict the reproductive functions of hermaphrodite insects and the mysteries of human organs within a variety of conceptual themes. This is because I believe that all living life is precious, and that the way animals and plants live is very simple and precious.

The invisible "Gods and Buddhas" and the physical "life and death" are two sides of the same coin. While expressing a contemporary, ever-changing worldview, I also hope to convey the beauty of Japanese ink and washi paper to the world and future generations.
