Japan, Tomoko began learning calligraphy at the age of 6 and won awards for her art at calligraphic art competitions in China and in Japan. After taking part in numerous exhibitions and live performances she dedicated herself to expressing her original vision of diversity in her calligraphic art. In recent years, taking full advantage of making her original Sumi (black ink), she has since discovered and presented her unique and increasingly abstract style through exhibitions both domestic and international.In her 2009 solo exhibition for instance, she references the ambiguous point between two separate and distinct pieces which focuses on their correlation.In 2004 she became the disciple of Master Syoshu in an effort to give rebirth to her work and explore even more intensely the essential and authentic aspects of calligraphy. Tomoko lives in Kyoto.</FONT><O:P></O:P></SPAN></P><P class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:14.0pt;mso-pagination:none;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">JUDITH UMANA AYALA</FONT><O:P></O:P></SPAN></P><DIV class="MsoNormal"><SPAN style=""><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Judith Umaña Ayala from El Salvador, grew up during the twelve year Civil War in her country. She was always interested in the arts and social commentary. At the age of 18 she moved to the United States of America to pursue her University studies in Illustration. There, she discovered her interest in multiple medias, so she studied various fine art techniques such as printmaking , photography and painting. She graduated from Ringling School of Art and Design with a BFA in Illustration and experimental Photography. She then focused on mixing techniques on different surfaces and testing with various pigments and dyes. In 2007 she moved to Japan to pursue her Master’s degree in Mixed media Arts. There, she experimented with many modern and traditional techniques, mixing them on both paper and textiles. This lead to different types of collaboration projects that allowed her to experiment not only with her own techniques but the ones from other artists from different backgrounds. She believes that experimenting is endless and any combination should be tried.</FONT><O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">mit freundlichen Grüßen</FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></FONT></DIV><DIV class="MsoNormal"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial">Reinhold Gottwald</FONT></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
