Biography

Sayako Dairiki
Born 1957, Mojico, Japan

Artists Statement

Deep in the consciousness lies a place where there is no boundary between time and space, where time and space merge and knowledge finds itself. In these paintings, I am exploring the world of time and space. These are my internal landscapes.

My visions are not creation by my ego ā€œIā€. They come from deep in my consciousness. I must keep the visions to become paintings by giving them form and color. Pictures inside of me would never be able to express themselves without help from my hands, which have learned the skills of painting. Only through discipline and practice can I create my real visions from deep within myself.
