Miho ENDO

Miho ENDO, born in December 20, 1986, Fukuoka, Japan
Japanese painter of the impressionist style
Educated in the Liberal Arts University both in California, the U.S, and Barcelona, Spain.
As a self-taught artist, I mainly traveled Italy, France, Spain, and the U.K, to learn the beauty of European nature.

Since I was little, I loved Monet's paintings because of my mother's influence, and I was very attracted TO the West. Until high school I lived in Japan, then I went to college in USA and Spain. I miss the time when on my holidays when I was a student, I went to the museums in England ands spent time painting on the banks of the Seine.Then, I wanted to draw a picture that can combine the beauty and healing of the East
and the West. In Japan, there is a unique traditional craft of bowl called "kintsugi". In the Western art
something "perfect" is preferred more, but in Japan, you put a crack in a bowl and pour gold into it. It expresses "beauty that can only be achieved because of scratches". While aiming for perfection, my painting still has some childish parts, but I feel that it may be healing. I hope that all the people will see the picture and feel a sense of security and healing.
