Yuuka Ishii

Born in 1995 in Kagawa prefecture and currently lives in Tokyo.  She completed the master’s course at the Tokyo University of the Arts, oil painting department in 2022. Her work is based on the theme of analyzing and evaluating the framework and aesthetic principals that enable a painting. Using symbols like the alphabet, playing cards, and piano scores as well as motifs and brush stroke shows  stereotypical Western paintings such as fruits, plants, vase and landscapes, she carefully constructs a composition and combination from a wide range of options that will stand alone as a painting all on canvas at the stage of esquisse.
