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 (sliding door) paintings for old Japanese houses, exhibited works in hotel rooms, and held solo exhibitions in Japan and Italy. Moeko has also participated in artist residencies in Japan and Europe. In 2023, she relocated to California, USA, and has been presenting her works in the SF Bay Area.
