About​

 

Tomoko Tsuruta is a contemporary artist whose work explores the fluid nature of perception, identity, and transformation. Raised in a cross-cultural environment, she has lived in both Western and Asian cultures, shaping her sensitivity to the in-between spaces where meaning is always shifting.

​

Her practice incorporates biomorphic forms, layered transparency, and white overlays, working with pigments and mixed media on carefully selected papers. Without pre-drawn structures, she builds compositions through intuitive layering and washes, balancing spontaneity with deliberate refinement.

She describes her evolving process as “art of a thousand times” (千百回絵)—a continuous visual dialogue where each piece connects to the next. Her work embraces impermanence and transformation, allowing each composition to unfold organically.

​

She holds a Bachelor of Arts (Fine Art), Goldsmiths, University of London. Her work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private collections and corporate commissions.
