Yuko Miyama / 宮間 夕子

Born in 1987, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan

Lives and works in Tokyo.

Using gods and divine beasts found throughout Japan and Asia as motifs, Yuko Miyama says she "visualizes and express invisible beings and energies from her own unique perspective. The invisible beings I depict are rooted in animism, Asian mythology, and philosophy. As culture has evolved since the days when humans lived in close harmony with these invisible beings, we have become less aware of their presence. That is why I aim to use art to help people feel a closer connection to these invisible beings."
