My main sources of inspiration are abstract expressionism, merged with prehistoric and ancient clay figurines, calligraphy. By using contemporary materials, reflecting culture presented in our diverse and modernized environment, I wish to continue the legacy of human’s imagination and connection to the ultimate space of life. Each artwork is intuitively free- formed, and hand built, while I focus on the extension of lines and harmony of the form, similar to the practice of Japanese calligraphy. Complex or simple, I find every form reflects a character I came across in my life in Japan, Ohio, NYC, and elsewhere. While my art forms are sculptural and abstract, I wish the audience to find them as familiar as a flower vase – a form of earth that’s carrying life and energy, freely given from nature.

Miyuki Akiyama was born in 1980 in Okayama, Japan. She began her studies at BFA at The oil painting Musashino Art University where she also earned an MFA. and studied abroad for two years from 2008 at Experimental Art Course, China Central Academy of Fine Arts, Beijing as a research student. She conducted research on the transmission of Asian culture. Since 2018 She has been based in New York City.

She works mainly in oil on canvas and drawing on paper. In her recent work, she has made drawings and paintings based on traces from around town.

Those works are small works of daily life and layers of images. The routines and dialogues of daily life and production allow me to feel the surprise of paint bouncing around on the canvas, of mountains and oceans appearing with a stroke of the brush.
