Mieko Takagi

Based in Tokyo, photographer and visual artist.
Combining candle-making with photography, visualize the contrast between eternal light and its inherent fragility.
Incorporating the imagery of "Zen," a traditional Japanese aesthetic, she captures the strength and fragility of spirituality woven by candlelight, fixing it in a single photograph and expressing it as painterly fine art.

A three-time recipient of the Certificate of Artistic Achievement from the Luxembourg Art Prize, her work has been exhibited internationally, including at the Aurea Photogallery.
