Tokiko lives in a town of the Nagasaki prefecture in Japan. She presented her works on social media, and did exhibitions around Nagasaki. She also dose performance art with her friends.
She was interested in designing as a student under the influence of her music, illustrations, ukiyoe prints, and pop culture. She was producing various styles such as paint, graphic design, silkscreen, and so on. Currently, she focuses on making sketches of people for a long time.
When she visited foreign countries and the areas affected by the earthquake. she wanted to carve that figure in her mind more deeply. At that time, the sketch could carefully capture the place, and the people living in it. She was attracted to people’s everyday appearance. Also, when she lost sight of my direction, she was able to restore her heart by painting people in the town. Drawing is very important for her.
Currently, she combines silkscreen and collage to create art based on sketches of people.
Tokiko thinks that art can be shared with people across language barriers, and borders. She announced her work on social media and wishes to connect with people around the world through art so she continues doing art activities.
