MIO

Born and raised in Japan; moved to Rotterdam in 2020.

This is my first artwork.

As a child, I loved drawing and doing craft work. But my parents were very strict and forbade me from doing artwork.

My parents wanted me to study, go to a good university and work for a big company.

Unfortunately, I did not know any other way of life than this route.

Moving to the Netherlands in 2020 for my son's educational migration freed my soul for the first time in a long time.
