Ange

Ange was born in Yamanashi Prefecture in 1964. Since she was little, she has specialized in painting and handicrafts, and won numerous awards in various　competitions. Although she did not enroll in an art school, she joined the art department in junior high school and high school. She also enjoys appreciating artworks and her picture books with the works of various artists have been used as “bread for production” textbooks. She moved to Hokkaido in 2012. Fascinated by the vast land of the north, she started painting the landscape. She held four solo exhibitions in Sapporo.
 
Each and every stroke is placed carefully on the canvas, so that you can smell the landscape and feel the wind blowing through the artwork. She uses acrylic to draw subtle colors and differentiate the transparent and opaque components. The artist name, “Anju” is a name that combines her memory of a ginkgo tree in the garden of her childhood home, which can be said to be where she first said the word “Ange”, which means angel in French.
