Asumi UCHIZONO
1993－, Kochi Prefecture
Uchizono, who says, “I want to tell stories through my art,” expresses the worlds and emotions of eight different personas within her through her animal drawings. Having spent her childhood surrounded by the natural beauty of Amami Oshima, she has loved animals and marine creatures from an early age.
At university, she studied marine biology, gaining extensive knowledge about animals. Using over 200 alcohol-based markers, she vividly brings animals to life, composing them with colorful, intricate patterns and shapes. The increasingly detailed patterns and forms in her works reflect her complex emotions, creating a deeply personal and expressive artistic style.
