Submission Painting

Shizuka Kusayanagi

Shizuka was born in Japan and studied Communication Design at Parsons. She spent half of her time in New York, with frequent trips to France, developing the sensitivity of a nomad, often trying to identify what constitutes a city, a culture, or a person.

Having been mostly a full-time mother and a graphic designer, Shizuka taught herself to paint seriously in 2022, four years after a dramatic event and a commitment to heal.

In her most recent work, Shizuka encapsulates visions she experienced during meditations or states of mind-body connection. Like a portrait photographer using the lens of her mind’s eye, she captures the visions to later develop their spirit physically, onto canvas or paper. The process is like that of a language interpreter, as she attempts to create feelings, a universal language without physical form.
