YUKO
Suminagashi artist | Uruguay
Yuko
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay.
Yuko unfolds expressions from her curious soul, with the soft, pure and natural flow of water.
At the end of 2019, she immersed herself intensively in the practical exploration of the technique, which she acquired through trial and error, perfected and developed beyond the known. The development of the practice has enabled her to create extraordinary works in large format, which is completely atypical and rare for this unique art form.
" The creation of each work is unique and unrepeatable, as water serves as a vehicle and is influenced by many factors. Each piece maintains an intimate relationship with the water and with myself at the exact moment of its creation. As soon as the last drop of color is added to the painting, silence sets in, nothingness surrounds the lightness of a painting conceived in water ... at this moment, the textile lowers to touch the image whose splendor will now reveal itself ... spread out within itself, absorbing all that is in it, transforming it. A unique moment... in which the created image finally reveals itself. "
" I am water - I live, love and flow "
" My work is whimsical sensitive and delicate "
" My art flows from the depths of my own element: water ... pure bliss”

Artist Statement
“The creation of each work is unique and unrepeatable, since the support is water, it is affected by
many conditioning factors.
Each piece maintains an intimate relationship with the water and with myself at the precise moment
of its creation. Once the last drop is added to the image, silence occurs, nothingness surrounds the
lightness of an image conceived in water ... and it is at that moment that the textile descends to meet
that image whose splendor will soon reveal ... spreading into it, absorbing all that is in it,
transforming into it.
Unique moment… in which the created image is finally witnessed. "
