Sydney-based fine artist Karin Mizuno, explores the everyday objects that inhabit her domestic space, bridging the gap between the traditional still life and her Japanese heritage. Her artistic practice endeavours to capture the essence of these seemingly mundane items, transforming them into a visual narrative that resonates with a deep sense of comfort and cultural identity. Drawing from her Japanese heritage, she finds inspiration in the inherent beauty and functionality of everyday objects, imbuing them with a sense of significance that might often go unnoticed. Her paintings become a bridge between the past and the present, intertwining the rich cultural tapestry of Japan with the contemporary context of her life in Australia. Within each carefully composed still life, she seeks to reveal the harmony and balance that can be found in the simplest of things. Her brushwork and choice of medium, oil paint, allows her to infuse these objects with a palpable sense of life and history, capturing the interplay of light and shadow and how these elements breathe life into the inanimate. Karin’s art invites viewers to share in the intimacy of her domestic world and reflect on the cultural values that shape her identity.
