​山﨑 鈴子   REIKO YAMAZAKI

Born in Tokyo.

Completed the Department of Art, Graduate School of Art, Kyoto University of Art and Design in 2014 (received Ph.D.).

Based on traditional Japanese painting techniques, I received much praise for my works of flowers blooming in pitch-black darkness. 

In recent years, I have expanded my range of expression beyond painting, producing works that utilize my own research on art materials and various expressive techniques.
