Sakae Ozawa
Born in Shiga (prefecture in the middle west Japan), Sakae Ozawa is a painter who lives and works in both Kyoto and Tokyo. Ozawa's painting takes you into a wonderland where some magical or mysterious things will happen. It happens in a colorful forest, in a dark jungle or under the water. Despite the narrative depictions, Ozawa creates her works not by starting from building up a story. She starts from words or phrases popped up in her mind or found in a book. And sometimes, she starts from just a painted pattern and develops it into a creature. She lets the viewer to created their own stories and that is why we can't keep our eyes off of her work.
