Yoshimori Kataoka

Born in 1978 in Vancouver, Canada.Tokyo living.
After graduating from Tama Art University,

She began creating works in 30s, combining original poetry and paintings.
The main activities are solo exhibitions and participate in various art fair.

My work theme is "philosophy" that we meet in daily life.
We meet many“Question”and“Awareness”.
I call them “Song of Life”.

At the beginning,I thought and expressed these questions and awareness as something personal .
Gradually ,I realized that people sympathize to my works ,wherever they come from , or whatever they believe .
And I thought that is a proof that human beings are all "same ".

Laugh,cry,envy,anger,dreaming,and thinking about somebody deeply ...
I 'm paying attention to those movements of a human heart, that will never change.

If we could have time to overlook our own existence ,and care about each other more humbly,
We could bring up a comfortable world for any creatures.
Now,I'm making my works with such a hope.

My work is mixed media, acrylic gouache, oil pastel and collage mainly.
And I attach a short sentence which is concept of my work.
