Miiko

“I found that I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say in any other way — things that I had no words for.”

Art can be felt, appreciated and understood through its expressive meaning, its aesthetic composition and the personal experience and connection with the artwork. For artists, their creativity and final works are their own expression and manifestation, their own voice; those are elements that cross the space-time barriers to reach the deepest part of the human beings and move something inside them. Miiko, a Japanese artist, in this exhibition presents five alcohol ink artworks full of sensitivity, flow, vivid colors and exceptional details that take the viewers to look at, confront, be aware and make visible their own "toxicity". For her, toxicity "adds depth and dimension to art and is an element that attracts people". From this starting point, the artist is courageous in exploring, feeling, expressing and sharing some negative emotions, which, as a result, encourages her own liberation, self-affirmation and authenticity, as well as those of other people. Thus, Miiko's art shows a particular style, aesthetic and meaning that serve as a reminder of how spontaneous could be life itself, how necessary is to refer to, contemplate and appreciate the power and range of colors, opposites, shades and grayscale that synthesize or give rise to contrasts, nuances and harmonies which give a unique meaning and compound human's life.
