Artist
Moeko MACHIDA is driven by the question, "What is the secret of beauty in all living things?" Using traditional Japanese mineral pigments, she visualizes various invisible energies of living beings. The small, stone-like forms depicted in her paintings symbolize the ever-changing nature of life. Moeko earned her master's degree with a major in Japanese painting from Kyoto City University of Arts, where she creates and exhibits works that blend traditional techniques with her original imagery and methods.
She has created fusuma (traditional Japanese sliding door) paintings for historic Japanese homes, exhibited her work in hotel rooms, and participated in exhibitions across Japan, Europe, and the San Francisco Bay Area. Moeko has also taken part in artist residencies in both Japan and Europe. In 2025, she relocated from California, U.S.A. to Basel, Switzerland.
