MATSU
KEIKO YANAGISAWA
ABOUT
An energetic artist, who channels her energy in the traditional Japanese style and colour with a modern and personal twist.
“the natural world surrounding us is, the single, most intricate and perfect, form of art” Keiko finds her inspiration mostly from nature, which has been her guide through her career as an artist. Transferring into art, the natural delicatessens of nature, with its intricate textures and colours, is what concerns her the most and what her art expresses. Her work is usually represented by delicate lines depicting flora through elegant and fragile pen drawings, brought to life by her choice of mostly traditional and strong Japanese colours and hues.
Keiko is a Japanese Born-London educated artist. Her decision to switch from a BA in Business Development to art, has been the best and most inspired decision Keiko has made, enabling her to become a fully matured and artist, with the help of her years studying art in London.
