Artwork location: Japan
Photorealistic oil on canvas painting of the white seashell. The navy blue/grey background indicates water and the wave. I believe that each seashell has its own story, but we find them on the beach, they are just there as still life. I channel my enthusiasm for the amazing characteristics of the beauty of nature by rendering them with academic oil painting techniques on canvas. Those bumps on the shell and the lavender color inside are truly beautiful. I even love to listen to the sound of the wave by putting a shell on my ear.

~Biography~
Born in Chiba, Japan, Yuko was reared by parents who appreciated every aspect of art. As a child growing up in Bangladesh her creative talents began to flourish.
In 2000, Yuko attended Tama Art University in Tokyo majoring in oil painting. At that time, her method of expression gradually shifted from canvas to jewelry design. As a result, Yuko launched a jewelry brand while simultaneously attending school. Her jewelry has been sold worldwide and has collaborated with popular fashion brands.
Yuko spent several years in the Netherlands and the United States and moved to Nagasaki Japan, where it's surrounded by beautiful mountains and the blue ocean.
She was deeply impressed by the majestic nature and animals there and that led her soul to start painting again.
Yuko channels her enthusiasm for the amazing characteristics of the animals formed in the process of evolution onto canvas. Employing academic oil painting techniques in the creations of her pieces, Yuko believes that oil gives life to her art because the medium "works inquisitively as if it has its spirit".
Her works are housed in private collections widely around the world.
Yuko is also passionate about preserving beautiful nature and the planet earth for the next generation. By donating a portion of the art sales, she contributes to nature conservation activities.
~Artist Statement~
I paint the beauty of the universe as I see it reflected through nature's majesty in my current home of Nagasaki, Japan. I believe that every animal that exists in this world deserves to be called God's masterpiece.
Their remarkable behaviors and appearances have evolved to support their roles on this planet...toward the fulfillment of each of their destinies.
I channel my enthusiasm for the amazing characteristics of animals by rendering them with academic oil painting techniques on canvas. Oil paint works inquisitively as if it has its own spirit— I believe this quality gives vivacity to the animals in my work.
Through my paintings, I hope that viewers will truly appreciate the extraordinary world that surrounds us.
