It is not easy for artists in our time - they want to create, and in order to create, you need to be patient and get ready for the costs - good paper, paints, brushes. Self-taught artist from Japan Ayako Rokkaku decided that something could be saved: by giving up brushes and using the brightest colors, she creates a strange bright world without any devices, with the help of their own hands.
Of course, the best paintings were not always created with brushes - it is worth remembering at least the palette knife painting by the Vietnamese artist Phan Thu Trang, or Judith Ann Brown, who created masterpieces with her fingertips. Ayako Rokkaku is an artist recognized in Japan, Switzerland and other countries, whose hands have brought her well-deserved fame and exhibitions in different parts of the world.
Ayako Rokkaku was born in Japan in 1982 and now lives near Tokyo. The most amazing fact in her biography is that she did not attend any art schools or design universities, she learned everything herself. She usually paints with acrylic on cardboard, paper, canvas. Real success came to her in 2006, when she exhibited her work at an art forum in Basel, Switzerland.
Most of the paintings handwritten Ayako Rokkaku, are united by eccentric heroines - little girls with shy faces, always dissatisfied with something, but at the same time very cute. There is something in these heroines that is kind, naive, rooted in childhood itself, at the age of 6, when the fact that my mother did not buy a toy was the biggest problem, and the world seemed bright and big. Exactly like this bright world and surrounds the girls from the Ayako Rokkaku paintings.
Ayako Rokkaku's website is full of her latest work, each of which can be purchased if desired.

Bright sculptures from multi-colored cardboard. Layered art by Maud Vantours
Multi-colored cardboard is for an artist what plasticine is for a sculptor. On the one hand, nothing is simpler and clearer, more accessible and more familiar, but on the other hand, you need to be a real professional, a talented author in order to build something worthwhile, really outstanding out of this nondescript material. A young French artist and textile designer named Maud Vantours succeeds in all this. Her multi-layered colored cardboard works are amazing and beautiful
