Juri Morioka
Artist's Statement
"I always approach the canvas directly, without any preceding sketches or studies. I paint in the manner of Zen, moving my brushes along with my mind's rhythm, relying solely on instinct and intuition. Outside of conscious thought, I search for harmony and form in the play of color and shapes, and a composition gradually emerges. Then, feeling my way with my brush, I enter the painting and wander through its spaces and along its paths with a deep sense of belonging.
I welcome the viewer to join me on the same journey, with the same sense of belonging, sharing in the belief that everything has a life of its own."
