Again Come Painting

Takako is rooted in Japanese culture. live and work in Arezzo, Italy. My works is not a place that provides answers, but a place to search for them. Avoiding the fixation of viewer’s, and ambracing the viewer’s own fluctuations and transformations, it is a space where even them itself can be continuously renewed by the viewer — a place committed to an eternal dialogue. 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. Many of my family are work with art, aesthetic and craft, that's why I'm use to do all these. My persistent return to the image of the sky — reproducing it again and again — traces back to my childhood, when I often played alone. Growing up in Tokyo, the sky was the only living thing always beside me. I lived within the tension between complete freedom and the invisible, rigid constraints of the world, finding life hard, searching for the meaning of my own existence. The sky taught me these: simply to be present, to notice the sunlight, to feel the wind, to watch the clouds drift by. The sky watched over me and let me follow the pull of my heart — to walk, run, skip, and dance. His embrace is vast: unconditional comfort, a sense of safety, and — sometimes, yes, a gentle urgency — the strength to believe in myself. Those messages still reach me today. This is a memory of life. I want it to reach as many people as possible, to share it. We may sometimes feel isolated, but across this wide earth, we are invisibly connected through the sky. Someone, kilometers away, is looking at this same sky at this very moment, from a different angle. Dear my brothers and sisters in life.
