Aiko Fujita

“My work unfolds in the delicate spaces between shadow and light. Through experimenting with materials like plaster, I uncover new layers of depth, keeping my minimalist approach ever-changing and open to fresh possibilities.”

Artistic Style: Minimalism, Plaster Art Texture


Personal Background:

  • Born and raised in Tokyo, Fujita’s minimalism reflects both the chaos and simplicity she observed in the bustling city and the stillness of traditional tea gardens.
  • A student of architecture before transitioning into fine art, her background in spatial design informs her attention to structure and negative space.

Artistic Journey:

  • Fujita’s minimalist works rely on the subtleties of texture and monochromatic color palettes. She works predominantly with plaster, exploring the interplay between light and shadow, which gives her works a three-dimensional quality.
  • She creates compositions that appear simple but reveal rich depth upon closer inspection, focusing on how space, texture, and form interact.

Sources of Inspiration:

  • The structure of modern architecture and the fluidity of natural forms.
  • A study of traditional Japanese calligraphy, with its emphasis on flow, minimal lines, and intentionality.
  • Silence and open space, allowing the viewer to meditate on the materials themselves and the emotions they evoke.
