Ayame Fujiwara
Ayame Fujiwara was born in Miyagi, Japan, 2001. She graduated from Musashino Art University, College of Art and Design, Department of Oil Painting in 2024 and is currently enrolled in the same university's graduate school oil painting course. She is a rising young artist who continues to be selected for public exhibitions, including CAF2022, Hosaka Kenjiro Jury Award, and Muni Art Award 2023 Grand Prix, Hijikata Meiji Award.
The charm of Fujiwara's work is the deformed and freely moving people, trees, and characters, that fill the screen of a deformed canvas made by herself, the vivid coloring that incorporates classical techniques, and the energy that emanates from the work. If one looks closely at the seemingly bright works, one will find many disturbing motifs, such as severed bodies, people on fire, and people fighting. However, the work as a whole still has a positive energy.
This is probably manifested in Fujiwara's experience of reading novels by Sayaka Murata, Natsuko Imamura, and others, as well as her delicate sensibilities that do not overlook the subtleties of the heart that she feels in her daily life, and Fujiwara's very attitude towards life, in which she is willing to accept even negative elements. There is a certain freshness in Fujiwara's work, as she tries to treat things that are important to her with care.
