Biography:
Born in Kobe. In 1988, she graduated from the Department of
industrial Interior,and Craft Design, Musashino Art University
Mima Akasaki is a highly spirited artist who has been producing
an impressive body of photographic work since 1989 called
Inner Light. Her work is distinguished by subject matter that
is abstract, mysterious and emits dazzling and rich colours.
More recently she has been using plants and other actual objects
thereby broadening her mode of artistic expression.
Motifs that have emerged in her work recently include the
pomegranate as the symbol of life, grapes and lotus symbolizing
faith and the olive representing peace. The light, stored
up in these symbols, seems to illumine the darkness, expressing
the hope residing within the gloom.
All Akasaki's photographs have not been synthsized or processed
by computer. The photographs all depict real objects.
