Sachie Koyama’s exquisite drawings and paintings display a lightness and sensitivity that truly mark her works as outstanding. With no theoretical basis from which to start, she draws inspiration intuitively from nature in its most elemental forms - wind, air, water. Her interest in the fundamentals is also displayed in her works based on seeds, in which linear abstraction draws one into a plane of intricate maze-worlds. Koyama employs delicate strokes to layer up her works, creating soft, highly textured, two-dimensional compositions. Her aim is to create atmospheric works, and she achieves this through a subtle balance of shape and color. Many different media are employed to this end, including oils, watercolors, pastels and acrylics to name but a few. Koyama attributes the combination of subtle markings and a sensitivity to nature and the changing of the elements to her close connection to traditional Japanese culture.
Sachie Koyama currently lives and works in Japan.
