Makiko Sugawa

Makiko Sugawa was born in 1974 in Wakayama Prefecture.
She graduated from Kyoto University of Art and Design. After graduation, Sugawa worked as a designer and started drawing illustrations.

Sugawa is quite unique in her use of her excessively fine and delicate brushstrokes. The lines she traces give an impression of highly elegant embroidered lace. The expressions of female figures built from these lines are all very sensual and bring a very feminine eroticism.

She has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions abroad (personal exhibition at Mondo Bizzarro Gallery Rome), Poland, USA and Paris.
