Continuing to draw the breath of life of the earth and universe on a magnificent scale,
my work explores how we are related to space-time. In my work, I investigate the sense of anti-gravity, disorientation, and weightlessness and I want to visualize gravity like flying through space.

“Looking back on Ohno’s career, the artist has always related deeply with the times, exploring all the possibilities of her theme, style of expression, and the materials of her Japanese painting, while continuing to create energetically in search of her art. Through her respect for life and nature, derived from her inner universe, her interest extended to the earth, galaxy, as she has returned to nature in her surroundings. In her works, is a determination to express her own existence as a human (artist) living on this planet.”
Akio Tanaka, Chief Curator, Homma Museum of Art
