About the Artist
Ayako Rokkaku (b. 1982, Chiba, Japan) lives and works between Berlin, Porto, and Tokyo. Known for her distinctive technique of painting directly with her bare hands, using her fingers to spread and shape acrylic paint across the canvas, she creates work that moves fluidly between abstraction and figuration, drawing from kawaii culture, abstract expressionism, and the boundless imagination of childhood. Her colourful canvases are populated by imaginary landscapes and fantastical characters.
