Mioko BABA

I mainly paint in oil. One day, I pulled out flowers that were no longer commercialized in a corner of the flower farm site and saw them piled up in piles, and I felt like they were still breathing. Using this experience as a trigger, I create paintings while thinking about the mixture of life and death through the appearance of plants and the gap between views of life and death with others.
