Haruka Fujiyama

Haruka was born in Kyoto. After studying fine arts in Japan, she came to France in 2020 to continue her artistic studies.
She paints in acrylics and oils on the themes of impermanence and transience. These themes are inspired by the experience of her grandmother's death during her childhood. This death disrupted her belief that "everything happens as she wishes." At the same time, she acutely felt anxiety about death, life, and growth. Expressing the changing nature of things alleviates this inevitable anxiety and allows one to oppose the emptiness of life. In ancient Japan, beauty was found in the impermanence of nearby nature, as in the changing seasons, seeking ways to live fully amidst the irrationality of things.
Today, we have become more distant from nature and have fewer opportunities to observe it. Haruka's works encourage us not only to reflect on life and death, and what remains afterward, but also to rethink our coexistence with nature.
