Biography Masako

*************

 I was born in Osaka. I began my involvement with the arts at the Rotterdam School of Fine Arts in the Netherlands. I painted in oil then. Later, when I lived in the Philippines, I took up Oriental brush painting, studying under a successful and well known Chinese artist. I continued this in Bangkok, but now in the “free style”. Some years later I returned to Japan and graduated from the Sankei Gakuin School of Art in Tokyo, where I studied various types of Japanese painting techniques, such as “Nihonga” (a medium using natural pigments), classic-style collage and brush painting on gold leaf and silk.

I do not paint an exact likeness of nature, but intend to bring out the essence and “feel” of nature in my paintings. I do that by using age-old traditional Asian techniques of brush painting on rice paper. But I also use a more contemporary approach to express the splendor of nature in mixed media, selecting vibrant colors and accentuating them with brilliant gold leaf. Both approaches are representations f the beauty all around us…if we have eyes to see.
