About

the Artist
Winning a slew of awards since 2012 and already placed in three public collections in Japan, Mikagi’s paintings are at once evocative, luscious and emphatic, and are most often idyllic landscapes of nature, controlled and painted carefully in layered emotion. Yet it is her floral paintings that have garnered attention for blurring the lines between the purely figurative and the abstract, and lead to kaleidoscopes of colour that pop, impress and melt into techni-colored fantasia.
