中村 眞弥子

Mayako Nakamura (1976-) is a painter, living and working in Tokyo. Graduated from Sophia University, Department of Comparative Culture, Art History major (1999) and Musashino Art University, Oil Painting Department, Painting Course (2009). She exhibits her work in both domestic and foreign venues since 2009. She explains her working method: “I trace the shapes of space and boundaries in everyday, as my body feels. When numerous senses woven together with the impressions of the reality that my mind has already known, and with the universal shapes that my kokoro longs for, another day appears on my canvas. I’m attempting to create another everyday, which seems more essential than the actual living, by painting atmospheres; emotions and actions that can’t be expressed by words; nothing special, but surely existing.” In addition to painting, Mayako also collaborates with artists in other fields, such as hotel murals, clothing, book design, and tableware.
