Maiko Yoshizawa (1987, Chiba Prefecture, Japan) is a Japanese artist living and working in Tokyo. After graduating from a junior college at Joshibi University of Art and Design, she transferred to the Department of Japanese Painting at Tama Art University in her third year. She graduated from the same university’s graduate program in 2012.
Maiko Yoshizawa is an artist whose works revolve around the theme of “Creating Hope.” She employs mineral pigments and acrylic paints on the canvas to give her pieces a narrative quality. Her motifs often involve the human body and organs, depicting the transformative process into various entities, thereby expressing the possibilities of both the physical and the mental realms. Besides painting, she is actively engaged as a performance artist and a body painter for events like stages.
