Yasuko Hara

Born in Nagasaki, Japan in 1981, I began my artistic journey under the guidance of Shinobu Baba, a renowned acrylic-glass painter. Inspired by his work, I decided to pursue a career in art. During my high school years, I explored my own creative paths, eventually leading me to New York, where I spent eight years refining my skills and showcasing my artwork.
Painting is a passion I indulge in when I am in a positive frame of mind, allowing me to focus on my work without distractions. My natural inclination towards fantasy influences my artistic expression.
In 1997, I started creating abstract paintings using oil pastels and acrylics. By 2006, I embraced traditional Japanese materials like washi paper and gold leaf, which have become my preferred mediums. My work embodies a musical and cinematic quality, crafting a visual narrative of my life.
My ultimate goal is to establish a successful career while contributing to a better world through my art, inspiring and connecting with people through my creations.
