Artist Profile
Sayoko started live paint perfomances in 2009. She mainly uses Chinese black ink and acrylics for her painting. She paints on a canvas 36inches by 108inches for 30minutes at the shortest time and sometimes she paints for 5 to 6hours.
What Sayoko expresses is always "the strong and healing energy" of animate things. Above all, human bodies are painted in her works and she says that's because bodies are the very things which inspire her most. Other than that, the nature such as trees and flowers are essential pieces in her paintings.
She hopes that people who watch her live painting can be relaxed and excited by its powerful energy, and also can confirm the beauty of life.
