"Sprout" Painting

Takako is rooted in Japanese culture. live and work in Arezzo, Italy. Make your mind free to dive into my painting. Accept your personal interpretation. Enjoy the moment. That is all. And if one day your perception shifts — welcome it. A new viewing begins. As time passes, you are renewing, growing. We are so beautiful in transformation. Staying the same goes against our natural instincts. Mono no ware — the Japanese sensitivity to the beauty of things that pass and change. By intentionally leaving negative space (ma) in the painting, I open up freedom of interpretation and new possibilities. I transfer the energy, vitality, vapore, temperature, form. The granular paint’s accidental occurrences and uncotrollable developments, the technique of water color, action painting and natural environmental conditions(priority to do out door painting) — all of these are embraced as essential elements of my works. I also work for plants's, earth's energy using oil color. And the salt crystal installation, these are important part of my works too. I respect the work of many different artists; Burri, Eliasson, Flavin, Haraguchi, Holt, Lenon, Monet, Richter, Sekine, Turner, Turrell, and others too. Takako’s works are collected in Turner Color Ink. in Osaka. Private collectors in Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan, United Arab Emirates, United States of America, United Kingdom, Austria, Poland,
