Japanese artist from Osaka.
She completed her art studies at the University of Kyoto, getting specialty in painting. Later she moved to Tokyo, where she lives and works.
Her passion for painting led him to experience, day after day, with the texture of the oil.
Through large patches, it generated little details with a wide selection of color, where the landscape
And some human figures are the stars.
Consisting of a series of paintings inspired by scenes taken on the street where strong sunlight illuminates the timing promptly. She draws particular attention as countries can become differentiated according to the intensity of light. And this role in our daily lives and in our memories.
The use of color and distinctive use of lights in the paintings of Tomoko certainly directly capture
The attention of those who look.
