Miho G
To You
Hello, my name is Miho Gomi.
I was the one that was always driven away.
A while ago, an instructor told me,
“For example, out of the 10 people with unique personalities, you cannot be one of them.”
It seems that I am born like that.
When I was drawing one day, I was suddenly reminded of that.
If my artworks give light to people’s hearts, there is no greater happiness.
五味美保と申します。
私はどこへ言っても弾かれる存在だった。
昔、或る講師に、
例えば、10人の個性の持主の中に、貴方は入れることができない、
と言われたことがある。
私は只その様に生まれてきたらしい。
いつか絵を描いていて、フとそのことが想い出された。
そんな私の絵が、人の心に光を与えられれば、これ以上の歓びはない。
Abandoned Kapok

Whenever Miho G walks down the street, she looks at plants. When she drew “Abandoned Kapok” (2017), it was common for kapoks to be treated poorly.
With such a thought in her mind, she started drawing. Around the kapok tree were various plants intertwining and occupying the whole.
A poorly-treated heart soon approaches sadness, and the scenery becomes distant from beauty.
Through this artwork, she hopes to express that “Even a kapok that lost its charm, can regain its vitality and be loved with a compassionate heart.”
At the same time, she also hopes that when a person (oneself) becomes weak, they will not forget to be honest with their heart and admit their weakness.
Miho Gは道を歩けば必ず植物を観ている。「ありふれたカポック」(2017) を描いていた頃、カポックは粗末に扱われていることが珍しくなかった。
そのことが心に残り描き始めた。カポックの周りには、色々な植物を絡ませ全体を占めていった。
粗末な心は悲しみに近づき、その景色は美しさから遠退く。
彼女はこの作品から「たとえ魅力を失ってしまったカポックでも、慈しむ心があれば再び生気を取り戻し、愛でることができる。」ということを伝えたかった。
同時に、人(己)が弱く在る時、その弱さを認める素直な心を忘れぬ様に、とも願う。
Miho G
When Miho.G was young, she wanted to become a textile designer and was employed at the HANAE-MORI group company. However, she realized the gap between design and reality. So she gave up her dream of becoming a textile designer. After that, she got an office job at a general company.
At the age of 40, she started watercolor painting in her own way and at the age of 50, she was encouraged by her watercolor instructor to take upon a major watercolor painting.
・Selected for 4 years at the Japan Watercolor Federation.
Around the same time, she started taking care of her mother. Living with her mother was very refreshing and she felt more strongly about painting.
★ She mainly paints plants, landscapes and abstract paintings(gansai poster color and acrylic-gouache).
★The style of her paintings have not been decided.
Since most of her artworks emerge while painting, she does not make any drafts.
Also being a major plant lover, the feelings of compassion, vitality and beauty etc for plants are expressed in her artworks.
・Exhibited at a dining restaurant(Osaka 2017 – 2018)
・Exhibited at a Gallery in Jiyugaoka(Tokyo 2018 – 2019)
