Sachiko

Artist

Bio

An abstract pattern drawing artist living in Fukuoka, Japan who is active both in Japan and overseas.
She has a memorable photo from her childhood. She is sitting on a porch in the bright sunlight, holding a red rose in her right hand high, gazing at it with a smile as if praising its beauty. This photo represents the origin of her beauty. She expresses by fusing the objects that she felt beautiful and the moments of her heart's movement that she found the beauty in her artwork. As a child, she loved Bon Odori, a traditional Japanese dance in summer. The faint light of the lanterns illuminating the darkness, the rhythm of the Bon Odori echoing in the air. The sense of the boundary between what can be seen and what cannot be seen is becoming blurred. These things make her feel nostalgic, remain in her heart as the origin of her childhood, and are the source of her creations. Also, she loved drawing with small stones on the narrow road in front of her house, and building secret hideouts with her friends using natural materials. The experience of playing outside until sunset is a pleasant and fun memory, and has always had a positive influence on her work. From her experience of enjoying nature in her childhood, she naturally felt that there were spirits in everything, such as mountains, trees, and rivers and also she gained a sense that humans are also part of nature. As she grew and began to think about her future career path, her interest in drawing and creating art faded. After she spent 30 years working, getting married, and raising a child, in 2022, she suddenly rediscovered her love for drawing and by chance had the opportunity to see artworks in the surrealist and neurographic genres. Just as she was starting to practice pen drawing on her own, she was diagnosed with an illness. Fortunately, she recovered well and continued to draw at the hospital even after the surgery. She unexpectedly had the opportunity to show her drawings to doctors and nurses. Seeing their happy faces gave her courage and joy, and for the first time in her life, she was able to give herself permission to express her aesthetic sense through her work. After sharing her work on social media, she was invited to an exhibition in June 2023, and began her career as an abstract pattern artist. She has exhibited her work in Tokyo and Fukuoka, and then she participated in an international art exhibition organized by First Wish Art Gallery in June 2024. Her work has been accepted for donation to the Telavi History Museum in Georgia. Her work is created through a unique perspective that loves the vitality of the natural world, including humans, which she has cultivated through her experiences from her childhood to the present. Her works, which are mainly abstract pattern drawing, are characterized by capturing subjects from both micro and macro perspectives and depicting them in detail using simple techniques. And in these movements, she rhythmically expresses the brilliance and dynamism of life, and the flow and circulation that are woven together by each other, pleasantly shaking the viewer's gaze and emotions.
