​Optical Sculptor

​Mariko Matumiya （Hokuto bigaku）

​彫金、七宝、漆等の技法を使いながらも枠や方法にとらわれる事がない、唯一無二の作品を作っています。宇宙を内包する光学彫刻作品です。立体作品でありながら絵画感を大変重視しています。

金属をベースにした絵画も制作しています。

While employing traditional techniques such as metal engraving, cloisonné enamel, and lacquer, the practice is not bound by conventional frameworks or methodologies, resulting in works that are entirely singular in nature. The sculptures function as optical vessels containing imagined cosmologies—three-dimensional works that place a strong emphasis on pictorial sensibility and painterly composition.

In parallel with the sculptural practice, the artist also produces metal-based paintings.
