日本語
Born in 1991. Ayaïro is a self-taught Japanese artist known for her vivid and nostalgic painting style. As she encountered many foreign cultures during her college years as a language major, she became more aware of the land and culture where she was born and raised, which led her to revisit her hometown, the Japanese satoyama, and begin creating her artwork. With the desire to “rediscover” her origins, she visits various original Japanese landscapes. At the same time, she always returns to her childhood to capture the themes from a child’s perspective, thereby reconfirming her starting point and pursuing unfiltered way of thinking, which we all tend to forget as we grow older.
Through the simplicity and universality of her chosen themes, she expresses childhood memories and sceneries that every one of us has likely experienced or seen somewhere in our lifetime. With a desire to keep the good old pure, she continues to depict a pop world that combines nostalgia and modernity.
