‘’Buen Rollo I’’ by 🌼
Mari Ito majored in Nihonga traditional Japanese-style painting in Tokyo before settling in Barcelona in 2006. From that foundation, she has built a body of work that pushes far beyond tradition, blending loud colour with sensitive, sophisticated line work.
Her recurring motif, flowers with faces, turns childhood memory into something universal: happiness, sorrow and wrath, all wrapped in a humoristic way 😅
Through these whimsical blooms, Ito invites us to look closer at the emotions we all carry, one charming, faceted flower at a time.
