Aya Onodera

For Aya Onodera, painting is a deeply spiritual and meditative process in which body, emotion, and material become one. Her works combine oil paint, colored pencil drawings, and textured canvases to evoke ethereal soul-like forms—flickers of memory and sensation. Influenced by landscapes from Japan, Korea, Germany, Italy, and Greece, her paintings reflect a mosaic of personal and global impressions. These visual spaces become a sacred sanctuary for Onodera, offering emotional refuge and serenity. Her art embodies a profound connection to the world while serving as a medium for self-location and introspection.
