Art de Kyoko Yamaji


 
First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to look at my web site. 

 I 'm a self-taught artist, born and brought up mostly in Tokyo, Japan and in the United States for a short time.

 I have been an art lover since my early age, but I didn't feel like painting until I was strongly influenced by African charm. Experiences in mid eastern Africa changed my life. I gained enthusiasm to express the beauty, toughness and love of human beings and wild animals.


 I also paint images inspired by music, movies, and also from my own experiences or sympathy to others.

 What I paint is emotion, especially the beauty of love, the strength of love. Human or animals, unconditional, with sympathy and compassion, caring, sharing and also enjoying.
  Not only babies, any living things need to be loved. And the utmost form of joy comes not from wealth, but from loving the others. Only who devoted oneself would know. And that's what I want to express in my art work.
