Miwa Ogasawara was born in Kyoto in 1973 and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Hamburg until 2007.
A sparce composition with black, white, and muted colors characterizes Miwa Ogasawara’s work. A framed image is depicted within the painting as if defining ‘an extended moment, a slightly displaced presence.’ Critics refer to Ogasawara’s style as representational, but without narrative.
