JUNYA TSUBOTA


Born in 1974 in Saitama Prefecture, Japan
Lives and works in Saitama Prefecture, Japan


As a seasoned Nihonga artist, Junya Tsubota celebrates the four seasons of Japan within his work. Particularly concentrating on natural phenomena and forms, such as water and sky, he contrasts these elements with unearthly bright color. His central focus with this melding of styles and subject matter is to bring a new form of harmony into the space the painting is displayed in. Tsubota’s works have appeared in exhibitions across Asia, Europe, and North America. He received his Master’s degree in painting in 2001 from Tokyo University of the Arts.
