Artist: Mari Nishimura
Biography:
I have been fond of dragons since childhood. From a young age, I started drawing dragons using my fingers with assorted painting materials and would paint colorful dragons in various places.
The pictures drawn by Mari Nishimura are often described as being “powerful”.
The energy, kindness, strength and sadness can be seen overflowing from the basis of an individual human…
Many people are moved to tears when they see these paintings.
This is surely due to the depth and strength of the view of life that is depicted in each painting.
Sometimes gentle, sometimes powerful, Mari Nishimura’s works continue to evolve.
Her solo exhibitions in Japan have proven to be so popular that numbered tickets have been issued for admission.
This “dragon woman” is flying around the world with her dragons as she receives invitations from all parts of the earth.
