                        About the Artist
                    Leiko Ikemura is an acclaimed Japanese-Swiss artist whose multidisciplinary practice encompasses painting, sculpture, and drawing. Her distinctive aesthetic is characterized by an ethereal quality, often depicting hybrid figures—part human, part animal, part plant—and mystical landscapes that evoke a sense of metamorphosis and the interconnectedness of all living things. Ikemura's work delves into profound themes of identity, vulnerability, and the cycles of life and death, imbued with a haunting poetic sensibility. Her art creates a bridge between Eastern and Western philosophical traditions, inviting viewers into a contemplative space where the boundaries between reality and dream, and between self and other, gracefully dissolve.
